Isn't it funny?
Various people warn you that you're being spied on at every turn (by AT&T, the N.S.A., the F.B.I., etc.); that the AT&T/BellSouth merger should have been vociferously opposed; that the expansion of C.A.L.E.A should have been opposed the same way (submitting comments to the F.C.C, F.E.) - literally beg everyone to get involved and politically active in opposing it before it happens or to reverse it.

And damned near everyone just sits back and says "Aw, we need all this stuff to keep us safe" or "Aw, it won't affect me"
And then it does.
And only then does all the bitching and whining start.
We are - quite literally - doomed to suffer the consequences of our own lack of interest and action.
All because we lack the will to fight it.
