With the cuts to education, scientific research, the arts, and the American infrastructure combined with the loss of privacy, and the rise of such abominations as the Dept. of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, I kinda have a feeling that our nation as a whole has lost. But I also think that as individuals, those of us who continue to demand a restoration of our freedoms, and refuse to buy into the whole safer society gambit are the the true winners.
