I blame the American public who when presented these laws via news reports,
sits back like a little puppy waiting to be walked. Its easy to bitch up a
storm *after the fact*, but when these issues are thrown around most people
are too caught up with moronic issues such as "oh noes they done arrested
poor little Paris Hilton". Many loathe the ACLU, EPIC, EFF and the things
these groups do and its likely because many don't understand why many fight
the fights they do. Instead of a "what do I do now ... the sky is falling
the sky is falling" method of taking, people need to really start paying
attention to what is going on in government before insanely overbroad and
moronic laws are passed.
