I imagine when senior citizens are retired, they care more about what is for sure coming in every month compared to how much money is sitting in the bank.

Perhaps you've heard some rumblings from the tens of millions of Americans complaining since 9/11/01 that our freedoms have been dwindling at the hands of a government that is trying to convince us that it's important for American citizens to give up some of their freedom in return for "security" (a sense of security to some, perhaps, but certainly no real security).Unfortunately, too many people have been so scared of "the terrorists" for 9 years now that they've been happy to give up their rights -- or worse yet, haven't even realized they been doing it, as clearly you haven't realized it until now.Who do you think was responsible for the action in the article you linked?
