You should..what happens in someone else's backyard could one day happen to you.
We have this net neutrality and government Internet ID ideas floating around and being talked about in Congress.
Shades of Patriot Act ? Congress is probably counting on apathy like your post exhibits.
I've got my own country to worry about. Worrying about other countries seems to be a national problem (read:sickness) that we have. I don't personally envision Egyptian ideas spreading to this country. But as they say, paranoia is the height of awareness....i guess.
The Patriot Act passed due to apathy...on this i agree. However, kinda late now, aint it? It especially chaps my hide to hear conservatives rant on about how much they hate it. During the Bush years, i wasn't hearing ANY OF THAT!!! I couldn't pay a conservative to critisize the Patriot Act back then, but it's all of a sudden the devil now?

Apathy,provincialism and short sightedness are very American traits.
