I don't think this country, as a whole, realizes what we are degenerating into. The government is becoming more secret, while the people's privacy is being eroded in the name of security.

There's a link in my "sources" section that shows a world map and all the attention-needing areas of the environment that long ago should have been attention-getting areas.
I don't understand the apathy.
