#1 The idiots in the government want to insulate us from what's going on in the world. As long as it doesn't hurt too much, folks will continue to vote stupid. I say if someone is at war with us, we ought to feel it. To me, it's like trying to live your life with your sensory nerves numbed to the point you don't feel warning pains. While we were numbed, they were allowed to grow to be a threat that will be much more difficult to deal with. The CIA and NSA are whining that they can't get the intelligence they need. I think those kinds of statements reveal the bottomless depth of their ignorance. Maybe people will now wake up to what is going on now that they realize they are under attack. |
