"German language magazine 'Bild am Sonntag' reports that, in response to Obama's recent order to stop spying on Angela Merkel and other heads of 'friendly' states, the NSA has instead ramped up spying on everybody Merkel communicates with. Cory Doctorow points out that this action demonstrates that the NSA is out of control and deliberately disobeying a presidential order with a level of duplicity worthy of a four year-old."

How can you protest? If you take a day off from work and show up to peacefully protest; you get tagged by the snoops, bagged from work (because the government told them you were up to no good), and end up homeless.
protesting won't get real until the majority of people are unemployed and starving.
until then they remain happy with bread and circuses.

Corollary: If you remove the bread and circuses, the people will become unhappy.
Extension: If people are unhappy, they will protest meaningfully.
Extension #2: If people protest meaningfully, change can be effected.
