| > There really is a difference between NSA staff and the average American. What a terribly silly thing to say. "there is a difference between people who work at X and the average American." You are claiming that every single employee that works at NSA can in no way, shape, or form be considered an average American. All 30-50k or however many of them there are, they just can't be average Americans? I mean, I totally agree. I bet they don't have lives outside of work. Probably none of them have kids. I bet they've never been married, or divorced. I'm sure they all rent under pseudonyms, none of them actually buy a house. Hobbies, pshaw, all they care about is their job, and breaking the law as often as they can. Every single one, a zealot to the cause, insanely loyal to their employer. They don't have bad days at work, or don't feel like going in, because damn it, they're different than the average American. I mean, there's no way that they just need to put food on the table, or can't leave the area because they have joint custody of their children. That kind of thing only happens to the average American, not NSA employees. By gosh, the horror of even considering that most of them are in fact average Americans, I'm getting tremors down my spine just thinking about it. |
