Because the average american doesn't care if you take away a freedom, so long as it's not one that they use. Most people don't look at porn on public library computers, so they don't care.
Sadly enough, I was like this too. I remember being in highschool, and the school was imposing a rule against wearing hats, or jackets because they might be "gang symbols" gangs? in the suburbs? what the fuck ever. Anyways, I didn't sign the petition against this rule, I figured why bother? Neither I, nor any of my friends, wore jackets nor hats, so it didn't effect me.
I might have grown up a bit since then, but I think a lot of the people who live in the u.s. think like I thought in highschool. Which explains the general atrophy of freedoms.
