Hilfe!

I'm pleased that Germany is taking action to rein in America's out-of-control government, e.g.:

"Germany and France warn NSA spying fallout jeopardises fight against terror; Angela Merkel and François Hollande lead push at EU summit to reshape transatlantic spying and agree new code of conduct." http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/25/germany-france-nsa-spying-merkel-hollande-eu

"Germany 'should offer Edward Snowden asylum after NSA revelations.'" http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/03/germany-edward-snowden-asylum

Perhaps, if it would not be inappropriate, Germany might considering helping to do something about America's serious failures in law enforcement?

Any Germans visiting university campuses in the U.S. might also want to be appraised of how unsafe they are and the fact that the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights does not care how unsafe students (or faculty, staff, or visitors) are - potentially as unsafe as (if not moreso than, not being citizens) Americans are:

"The federal Department of Education regulates schools under the Clery Act. But it has fined offending schools just six times. Most fines have been small. The biggest — for $350,000 — came against Eastern Michigan University. Administrators there covered up the 2006 rape and murder of a student, 22-year-old Laura Dickinson, letting her parents think she'd died suddenly of natural causes." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124001493
