Frightening headline doesn't disturb Americans

"Secret court okays continued US phone surveillance", the headline said. It sounds like something from the former Soviet Union, but it's not. This is an actual headline in the United States and apparently our sheep-like citizens didn't find this disturbing at all. 

When Americans see this sort of thing they just move along, maybe go pick up some more donuts or something. "Ho hum" is now the official American mantra. Stuff happens; why worry?

Sigh. The old United States is gone. Dog only knows what will happen next. But don't worry: the secret courts will undoubtedly take care of everything. In fact, we may not even hear about the next big thing.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll go get some Krispy Kremes. Yum.
