Let's use analogy, maybe not 100%, but good enough - do you want to plan and have future where you have friends, which help each other (ie real friends), or do you want a future when where you spy on everybody, including your mother, father, best friend ever, your kids etc? Because you know, these attitudes will have lasting effects on our future and how will society look. If we don't even try to build fair world for our descendants, we'll never get there by accident.

Or in other words - as a foreigner (would never want US citizenship exactly because of things like these) - we (in europe for example), for long thought we are friends. YOu helped us out in WW2, and it created special bond. Now it seems, you don't care anymore. Okay, we will try to find our own way. Things go both ways...
