NP: If only someone had *told* us about all this surveillance

Not my words, obviously, nor necessarily my sentiments, but 
complementary to Joseph's post as well as touching on the Moby Dick and 
Lou Reed threads methinks:

(...)

Well, Americans don't care for much of anything
Land and water, the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
With human life not worth more than infected yeast

Americans don't care too much for beauty
They'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
Complain if they can't swim

They say things are done for the majority
Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"

Lou Reed, "The Last Great American Whale"
