We would be a safer and more secure country, in my personal opinion, if we weren't informed on what the government is doing in some cases. I see no need to tell our enemies what our plans are or are not, just so the public stays informed of everything. I would rather the worlds bad guys stay scared shitless on how they might be disappeared in the middle of the night and end up in a CIA black ops prison on some mountaintop in whogivesacrapiztan. However, on the flip side of that, we can't seem to trust our own government not to spy on all of us in the same name of security. That is a form of government secrecy that will lead to evil from within. None of us can accept that. What truly scares me there is the average citizen who says if you aren't doing anything wrong then who cares what they are listening to or looking at. That mindset will lead the sheeple to the wolves for sure.
