Hmmm ... just another reason for the world to get pissed off with the U.S.

from Der Spiegel ..... Data Surveillance with Implications for the World

Gnu's post about how Americans know little about Canada comes to mind about all this ... let's keep the U.S. populace in the dark about other countries in the world and then the government can define all a other countries as a threat ... Canadians and Scandinavian are all communists, the mideast is full of people on a Jihad against all Americans, and the French, well they certainly are dangerous to begin with ... in fact the whole world is full of terrorsts all out to get America ... we got to keep a watch on everyone.

OK ... you may not buy what I have posted ... but I ask how much is all this Big Brother surveillance costing the U.S. taxpayers ... in a country were you do not have adequate health care, and social assistance for the poor, for the indigenous people and the elderly is almost non-exhistent.
