No problem with spying on her and family

Once upon at time there was a family which got into an argument. And the owner of the home says that she has no problem whatsoever with the government spying on her and her family because "we're not doing anything wrong." Do so many people really have this kind of attitude towards our liberties continuously being taken away? Are so many people really this short-sighted? I mean, the person in particular is a couch-potato who's only interaction with other people is TV, so "sheeple" behavior is expected... But are so many people like her REALLY this short-sighted, ignorant, and stupid?!

Explain why they are wrong on which subject? Giving up one's liberties is not wrong by themselves, but I believe it's wrong to give up the liberties of your family.

Someone having different opinions doesn't really make them "wrong". Maybe the way they presented their argument was "wrong".

And I say ignorant because that's technically what it is. "Lacking education or knowledge." The person in question has no clue what liberty even means.

Well...that's fine I guess. Perhaps to them what you consider liberty to be isn't so precious.(I'm guessing on national security?)

Oy, I keep hoping for this thread to die.

Brutal honesty: I was just looking for a way to bitch because a family member is onboard for something which also violates my privacy.
