americans, i'd like to know why are you concerned about the nsa spying on you.
my experience of living in the u.s. is that every aspect of your life is recorded by someone.
the date of your birth, race, sex, names of your mother and father and so forth is noted. and then it is non-stop data mining until your last breath.
for example a simple urban bus trip for shopping goes like this : entering the bus you are videotaped and other cameras will observe you walking down the aisle to a seat. your exiting the bus is taped. crossing the blvd, the chances are excellent that somewhere a camera will record you. enter the shop parking lot. there will be a sign saying "for your safety videotaping is in progress". OH!
within the shop more cameras watch who comes and goes.
use an atm card for your purchase and heaps of info about you is electronically passed back and forth. a credit card may require the showing of a drivers license, more info.
and on and on and on it goes.
so why all the high anxiety about nsa spying?
what more about your life is not already on file, crossed referenced, duly noted, saved to disk, and all that?
i'd like a honest and sincere answer to this question.
