Is This America?
Boing Boing pointed to an editorial in the Miami Herald by Robert Steinback that touches on some of the things in this country that have changed so much in the last few years.
If, back in 2001, anyone had told me that four years after bin Laden’s attack our president would admit that he broke U.S. law against domestic spying and ignored the Constitution—and then expect the American people to congratulate him for it—I would have presumed the girders of our very Republic had crumbled.
It’s a bit of a sobering reflection on just “what we’ve given up” (or, often, “what we’ve had taken away") since September 11, 2001.
