It's probably quite hard for people to find some combination
of concise, well presented, and even research backed
arguments against surveillance (or for it, if you lean that
way), or even definitions of spying, among all the vague
words soundbited from transcripts and then flooded through
the evening news...

So when news hits, on occaision and invariably either you or they
bump into people who want to know what it is and what it all means.
What do you tell them? Where do you point them?
What are the results of their own independant internet search queries?

Which channels are unbiased and show the correct path?

And then more news comes along...

And the same questions arise each time.

Is there information overload leading people to a tuned
out don't care situation?

Yet access to the various tubes for that is apparently now
being real-id'd and prioritized in various countries... different
than original internet. Will this affect ability to speak, share,
and discern?

How can people interpret? Where do they turn to?
By asking the God you mentioned?
Demanding more quality from news media?
Or enjoying the front page diversion instead?

Something better? If you find such an interpretation
there's a world out there that would like to know.
