What makes me incredibly sad in all this is the reaction of people. Specifically, Americans. I'm used to see this nation as the pinnacle of free spirit and liberty. Bold, fearless, freedom loving culture that will not tolerate any encroachment upon their rights and freedoms. I can't see any of it. People are either indifferent or compliant. A few protests here and there that amount to nothing on the nation's scale. This is all despite the immense uproar in the press and media worldwide. What's worse, those few brave souls who dare to stand up against the injustice become social outcasts. I guess these days people would have given up Robin Hood to the sheriff for a few gold coins and a promise of security. Or perhaps they already did.
