Our situation -- is it dire peril or comic fluff?

It would certainly be hard to tell if  you only had our most renowned TV pundits to go by.

Extreme vulgarity warning -- alas, this is one of your few opportunities to see Edward Snowden interviewed:

Snowden Shows John Oliver How The NSA Can See Your “D*** P***”

This English(?)  jerk pulls everything down to the most crass possible level and drags Snowden with him. It's too bad, because Bozo-clown Oliver starts off underscoring the seriousness of the surveillance state quite trenchantly. Shows how uncomfortable "TV personalities" are with adult behavior.

The studio audience's endlessly tittering, guffawing laughter shows where most ameriKans seem to stand re my opening question, above. Hope they manage to keep giggling on forever, because it will theoretically mean the boom has never finally fallen on us all. I've got a wall chart ready to tally who stops laughing when.

Any of you who laff along with them, you might have actually have been born in New Jersey but not know it.

I share this material mainly to show what fluff we're made of anymore -- a deadly serious matter.
