In reply to the discussion: Why do we tolerate the TSA? The DHS? The "patriot act"? [View all]xiamiam
(4,906 posts)56. i am also astounded by these kids...something so very unique about them
its not just youthful hope and enthusiasm. They're special..and smart. We should never underestimate them. They see right thru the dinosaurs and maintaining the status quo..right thru it. I think it is in part because of the computers and games they grew up with. They have an unbelievable ability to sort thru stuff..and they are not judgmental about lifestyle and choices. You wont find many of them here because they won't wade thru the nonsense. They know better.

You forgot the NDAA law as well! That one is every bit as scary. We need to get rid

Why would you answer? Or why would you answer in an airport or train station?
