Does anyone care to bet that this will be the last such Islamist terror vehicle attack -- carried out by those we've welcomed into the United States and from countries with whom we've never really had a historical or traditional relationship -- we're going to see?
Should you care? based on my chart above, on your care/outrage-o-meter, are these events REALLY something you should be worrying about and even spending billions of dollars on?
Why not care? I mean, we spend billions on things like the mating habits of transgender sea slugs and whatnot, right? So why not spend the money on something that might, I don't know... maybe identify and root out the ideological font that seems to be motivating these Islamist attackers and then prevent them from coming here?
And as an outsider looking in, this is precisely why I see where America is slipping. America use to be about the inquisitive, the creative, the go out and lets do this and study this just for the sake of making our society greater. Now, it seems that America is just more interested in who the latest reality show family is dating and protecting itself from something that it barely even needs to worry about on the grand scheme of things. Why not spend money on that? It still comes back to why, when if you imagine how awesome America could be if you sank that money into education it would be frightening to see what you could do. As someone who has American family members and friends, it pains me to see the direction you guys are going and as a friend, I want you all to snap out of it and say we deserve better!
