Comments

sorry: let me make it clear..

i consider US a high profile country when we get into account the "quality" and sofistication of its citizens..

its high developed concerning the consciousness and general inteligence of its people.. thats is exacly why is so scary

it makes me remember the question we keep making ourselves of why and how the sofisticated(and also high profile citizens) of the germany of the 30´s could be swallowed by the ideology of the nazis..

we end up believeing this is all about cultural matter.. for us looking outside of it looks that privacy its not that big deal, and when it is.. the governement get rid of it by making hocus pocus and creating virtual terror, so they can make people support they efforts to brake privacy and freedom

What I'd simply like you to see is that, while it's true that the US has a leading role in the history of humanity, the problem of mass surveillance enabled via corruption is very present in (at least!) Western Europe as well.

Based on...what, exactly?

im starting from the premisse that at least people have a good educational level to understand whats happening.. it gets higher in satelites regions like new york, SF, LA, chicago, seattle, etc..

but you know, generalizations are pretty much questionable, what do we really know?! :)
