The British and Israelis have to be looking at us as if we are epic cowards. Both have endured terrorist bombings like we do thunderstorms. Yet, they didn't turn into whining sniveling dogs, cowering to authority, handing over civil liberties for a hint of safety.
Have you been to either of these countries? Cameras litter the streets of Britain, many have claimed they are more of a police state than the U.S. is now. Israel has security checkpoints with metal detectors at shopping malls (I've been through them, and the guards aren't much more charming than TSA agents). Make no mistake, this isn't an American problem, this is a progression in Western society in general.

Wow, at that resolution, you can practically see back in time...
In fact Obama claimed to be for network neutrality so if hes changing his mind on an issue as critical is this, it's a shame he wont be re-elected because hes going to lose virtually all of the youth vote if he messes up on the internet.
You're assuming that most of the youth will actually realize that their rights are being taken away, or be in any way aware of how serious the situation is. It is unfortunate that many of the younger voters who flocked to Obama did so because of his celebrity status, because people want to be part of something big (first black president), etc. The youth vote went to Obama for many of the wrong reasons, and most of them won't notice the danger of losing network neutrality until it's too late. I'm a youth voter in a city that votes strongly dem.
