If my government is spying on me, at least i can try to change this, by voting, by pushing popular laws to my country congress.. If its overseas.. how can i change that? Are the democracy of US listening what its own people has to say? as somebody looking from the outside, it looks the answer is that is not.. perhaps the government are too busy listening to the elite class, that have their own agenda, and as long they are taking some profit out of it, its fine.. (but as a plus, and to our shame, in what country that is NOT the reality) If its my government at least i can try to make them be reasonable in some way.. as im a citizen; But how can we do that if we are not the citizen of the country who is abusing and breaking what we think is our civil rights? Can we citizens of all others countries spied by NSA knock on the doors of the white house? So the "Your country are doing the same" line of thinking so popular here doesnt stick.. Sorry Pal
