I know at some point everyone at the Daily KOS has bemoaned the fact that Americans just don't "get it" or are woefully ignorant of what the screwballs in the White House are doing to us on a daily basis.
With regard to NSA spying it occured to me that one small way to spread the word to the unwashed masses would be to put the information where it can't be missed, e.g on your answering machine on your land line and/or your voicemail on your cellphone. Mine will go something like this:
"Hi, you reached 555-5555. Please leave a message after the beep. However please be advised that (your phone service provider)has permitted the National Security Agency to record all telephone communications on this network and the contents of this phonecall WILL be entered into their database."
Anyone who doesn't know about this will start asking you questions and those that do will get a good laugh. Cheers!
