[WS:] This is a pretty lame excuse. It is so lame that it is difficult to take it seriously.
My point is very much different: it is the choice between the government and the anti-government crowd in the US of A. The government is definitely a lesser evil here. Not that I like what it is doing, but I dislike the anti-government, tea-party libertarian crowd much more. And the US lefties who jump on this anti-government bandwagon remind of the Communists in Weimar Germany who often sided with the Nazis in the opposition to social-democrats. They got what they were asking for.
So I my position on this is quite clear - I support the administration or, as a New Yorker cartoon has it, I am willing to give up the appearances of privacy for the illusion of safety. Trading illusions won't hurt anyone, but siding with the libertarian, tea party, ant-government crowd will.
