true, but they won't admit that outloud. what the awww shucks public believes is still important.

Empire_of_the_mind

I consider this the single most useful point to make against Patriot Act/etc. 13 years!!! There is no argument - just like torture, it is simply not effective to get the job done. No moral argument, no social argument, merely a statement of how wasteful it is.

The worst part is that, here in Canada, the House of Commons has passed bill C-51, which is our kinda version of the Patriot Act (lite)... The claim is that we need it now more than ever, referencing the arrest of 10 people who were going oversees to participate in ISIS...

They should be able to look at statements like these and think, "welp, that won't work, let's not waste our time & money"
