(Most of) the kids are all right

Posted on 06:01 by Unknown
This is somewhat gratifying....
Young people, by 60% to 34%, think that the NSA leak serves the public interest. Americans 30 and older are divided (46% serves vs. 47% harms).
I'll name one oldster who just doesn't get it: Senator Diane Feinstein.
“The majority of these ‘compliance incidents’ are, therefore, unintentional and do not involve any inappropriate surveillance of Americans,” Feinstein said.
God, I can't stand that woman. I've voted for her in the past -- she is, sorry to say, a Democrat -- but every time I cast that ballot I held my nostrils together so tight they didn't loosen up again for weeks. In the face of the latest revelations of NSA outrages, revelations which even Pelosi declared "distrubing," Feinstein offered a supremely annoying response:
Whatever incidents had occurred, Feinstein added, “have been the inadvertent result of human error or technical defect and have been promptly reported and remedied.”
Yes, and Auschwitz was simply an accounting problem.
