NSA Cheerleaders Discover Value of Privacy Only When Their Own Is Violated
This type of behaviour is common in the United States.<p>Weren't there some elected officials in the US who were adamantly anti-gay rights until their own daughters and sons came out as gay? And then they had a change of heart in order to not destroy their kids with the same legislation that they voted for themselves for years and years on end.<p>As flawed humans it's not hard to understand. It never seems to hit home until you experience it yourself. This is a call for getting a more diverse group in positions where they can change legislation and actually make things better for people.<p>I'd welcome the day when the US elects into governing position a convicted criminal who's served their time and is interested in changing the legal system for the better.
