Why is this stuff even debated?
Report: Domestic surveillance program relied on flawed analysis
It used to be that a semi-literate high school kid could tell you certain “inalienable rights†enjoyed by Americans included privacy alongside things like freedom of speech and right to a speedy and fair trial (both also dead). This kid might even know that “inalienable†means “incapable of being surrendered or transferred†– but at the least he’d know these were things we were promised as a function of our national identity. Why then does CNN report on the destruction of privacy as, “The highly controversial no-warrant surveillance program�?? Shouldn’t “highly controversial†be simply stated as illegal? Why the euphemisms? What a sad joke.
It’s no wonder that a high school kid today would know nothing of his rights as an American.
Jerks. The kid too.
