Americans will accept what they're told to accept

Americans, by and large, accept anything that is marketed as being in their best interests. This "frankenfish" will be no different. Most are either too uninterested to care, or too dim to realize the implications.

When the time comes (and it will) that the TSA insists that they perform random anal cavity searches in schools, stadiums, malls, et cetera, Americans will accept that too, all the while boasting about how "free" and "brave" they are.
