People's expectations have really withered.
I guess if you are accustomed to daily torture, slightly less torture is an improvement.
But it still isn't ideal.
People who live in America, under the bullies of the United States, have such low expectations of freedom or liberty that they feel grateful to be "allowed" to buy a gun, get a prescription without jumping through too many hoops, get through a "check point" without too much trouble, or board a plane without a strip search.
That's not liberty.
People have forgotten what Rightful Liberty even looks like.
I spend my time trying to remind them- or show them if they have nothing of it to remember.
