I keep hearing from people on this issue: "I'm not doing anything wrong, so why should I care if the govt or the NSA is watching my every online move?". I have to counter, you might not think you're doing anything wrong, so why does the govt (NSA) treat you like a criminal?. Another tact is, we (the USA) have become a secret police state, with secret laws, and secret punishments. It seems that every passing day, our country becomes more like the USSR was during the cold war, and Russia (of all places) becomes more like the U.S. was during the cold war. Isn't it ironic that the Fucking jerk Vladimir Putin that we all hated last year (and still has a lot of repenting to do) is the only world leader going to bat for the American Hero, Edward Snowden?
