Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying 1322

Posted by Zonk on Friday May 12, 2006 @10:23AM from the getting-the-government-they-deserve dept.

Snap E Tom writes "According to a Washington Post poll, a majority (63%) of Americans 'said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism.' A slightly higher majority would not be bothered if the NSA collected personal calls that they made. Even though the program has received bi-partisan criticism from Congress, it appears that the public values security over privacy."

Here's a review I submitted for a computer case a couple months ago:

"It arrived with one of the side panels bent, probably a manufacturer defect rather than shipping. I fixed it with a pair of pliers, but I shouldn't have had to. The pictures listed here are somewhat deceptive. It looks like there should be some color on the side strips on the front, but it's really just clear plastic. Other than these things, it's a sturdy case and weighs a ton. There are better ones out there for the same price."

It was rejected along with 2 other revisions even after I made them less negative. No specific reason was cited. They should have just said in the auto response that all negative reviews are automatically rejected. This pissed me off enough to take my business to zipzoomfly for a while.
