Wonder why Congress doesn't clamp down on its gung-ho spies? Well, wonder no more

Re: Constant war turns public opinion against democracy

Another leftist who doesn't understand the definition of democracy.

If the people want to allow something, no matter how odd it is to you...then this is the very definition of democracy.

People in England allow the government to manage and record public action on video. This isn't something against democracy, it's democracy in action. The English feel it provides more security and safety than privacy. They want it... they got it... they allow it. This is Democracy in action. You may not like it; you may think it's crazy. This doesn't change the fact it's still democracy at work.

Tracking/monitoring/recording is a two way thing. It can prove ones guilt, but it can also prove an individual's innocence. We've also learned, people today aren't as embarrassed about their actions as they once were [thank goodness].

I'm betting you don't really understand the definition of fascism either.
