Stealing from Twitter.  A couple tweets I think perfectly encapsulate why it's stupid to dismiss revelations of government spying as no big deal because we all kind of figured they were doing it anyway.
We're paranoid cranks until there's proof; then it's old news because we've been saying it for years.
 and collective shrug abt NSA programs ("we knew this was happening") & fears of natsec exposed ("terrorists didn't know this!") makes no sense
