I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be disagreeable. I do think the above video misses the point and is delving into our submission to authority, which often does not involve snitching: see Milgram's experiment and the McDonald's scam mentioned in the video. Perceived authority can often get away with ordering us to do something against our conscience, and this isn't a recent phenomenon, nor do I believe it is limited to our society. On the other hand, an ad campaign to me simply encourages something that clearly some people won't take part in, but offers no mandate or reward, nor does it guarantee that anyone will actually get in any trouble. I am willing to drop the subject if you want, but I want to pose a last pair of questions to those who disagree with me: if you see something that you suspect as potentially related to terrorism, even if being perpetrated by an Arab or a Muslim, would you report it? If so, how does this ad disagree with your conscience?
