EDIT: As it so happens, Glenn Beck is actually not in favor of this type of surveillance. I would have never guessed. I thought I was pretty safe in that assumption.

For instance, this should be front-page news everywhere. Full stop. Instead, the front page of www.cnn.com is currently populated by yet another Paul Walker death story, www.msnbc.com does not have any reference to it on its home page, and www.foxnews.com is devoid of this bombshell as well.

It really looks like the American populace at large is perfectly okay with being spied on and tracked everywhere. For all of the talk there is about wanting a smaller government, there sure ain't a hell of a lot of action. I cannot think of a government that is bigger than one that tracks your every move, forever.

All that matters post Snowden Revelations is Game Theory - as if this isn't how it's always been. It doesn't even matter what he says now, he has established himself as a Character. Whether he's even a legitimate individual is irrelevant. The fact that he and WikiLeaks both choose to release their documents over time instead of in a single dump gives them the advantage of having or following a script. The only ones who don't know what's on those documents are the public. There honestly doesn't seem to be a reason to trust either party and I doubt either will ever be in any real danger unless they so choose so, because that's all people seem to want in life is to be remembered after death.

The only thing that could ever work is individuals in power promoting a strictly decentralized or public society. Yet, this will never happen because High School never ends, and someone always wants to run the show. So, if the whole worlds a stage how come you aren't looking at the stars?

The downside of this is that the public/media have a short attention span - 'oh look, the 3rd NSA story this week', and then what probably should've been front page material gets hidden away

The DNC is doing their annual "survey fund raiser" respond to it if you have one. I'm certain the RNC is doing something too. Write letters to you representatives, call them. I know this will shock and sound sacrilege to many here, give your sitting representatives $100 and share your opinion. Make defunding NSA your number one issue. We can play the game and it's not that expensive to be heard.

It won't stop right away, it could take time but it's closer than you think. Let the people in power know it's your biggest issue and put some campaign funds in to the mix to let the know this is for real. Moreover, I'd hope facebook, ms, google, etc would pony up some serious lobbyists, we need to beat that drum too.
