I hate, hate, hate comments like these. They serve absolutely no purpose other than saying I told you so.
Yes, some of us understood the spying is broad, but I don't think most of us expected the cables to be tapped directly, and take all the data like from a firehose and store it all. How can you say even that doesn't surprise you? And even if it doesn't you think 99% of the people out there understood this?
Does your mom or dad think it's okay their phone calls are stored and analyzed by the government?
Anyway, just because you (probably) knew this was going on, doesn't mean there shouldn't be a time to get outraged about it.
