Most Americans are not the sort with the knee-jerk "Think of the children!" reaction. The problem is that most sane Americans do not vote. Our political landscape is such a mess that Americans don't want to think about politics, and so their opinion is drowned out by fear-driven activism. If I understand terrorism, I will not react to it irrationally. The rational reaction is, in fact, no reaction at all. The problem is that those who do react to terrorism react in fear. They push this agenda of security over liberty. In order to overcome this idiotic agenda, those of us who are sane enough not to react, must actually take action. We must actually vote. We must actually talk politics, instead of going on with the things we find more immediately important, we must actually take political action. It has just been too damn hard to get that to happen, so here we are.
