Paradox

Canadians didn't seem to care about the state's abuse of our civil, legal, and political rights at the G-20 because it didn't really affect them directly.

But why do they go along with, or even agree with the assaults on our freedoms from the asinine war on terrorism? Most Canadians are never going to be victims of terrorism, so why should they allow their tax-dollars to be raised and their airport security checks to become so bothersome for something just as remote from them as the abuse of concerned citizens' at the G-20?

Personal note: I've moved and will be without home internet access until the 30th at least.
