> I'm asking if you notice the gulf between how politicians speak, and what motives they give you the impression they have okay. > No one who is not self-deceived, or deceived by others, works in that way. They are self-interested for the most part. They don't want to help everyone in America wat. maybe you're the one who is self-deceived. how could you even know? > You see, there is no America, in reality. wat > Their professed "to protect America" motive is just a fork-tongued, or sugar-coated, rhetorical device that does not comport to the reality in their own heads wat None of your rambling and incredibly cynical post precludes the idea that a person who works for the NSA can have strong beliefs that are sympathetic with (some portion) of the USA. Or maybe they intend to help out other parts of the world. If you are not too dulled by your own view of things, you should be aware of various crises that have occurred and are occurring around the globe. Accurate and timely information in these events can and will save lives. Why join the NSA? It can be hard to help people when you lack the wealth or resources to support your endeavor and when you lack the power and control to execute. The NSA has all of these. Or maybe they're all terrible people. Maybe they're in it for the thrill. Maybe they have no choice. I don't know. But there's just no way you can be so certain about any of this.
