I feel like my government (not necessarily yours, as we live across the pond from each other) would put me in jail for it. Terrorism, you know. But other than that, yes on activism. I'm all for it and even want to do it. But I feel our problems (in the US at least) are much bigger than the NSA. Specifically, we have the power here, guaranteed in our own Constitution (ETA: I thought to look this up) written into our Declaration of Independence, to throw out everyone in office and start over and I think we should. And I'd much rather do that than protest the damn NSA since it might solve both problems - bad government and spying government - all at once. So I'm quite torn which problem to become most (or rather: at all) activist over since there is probably no point in wasting my time on both, as I feel even more strongly about the latter than I do the former.
*sigh*
Sometimes I wish it was still 2006. The relative innocence we enjoyed until then was both passing and priceless. I never wanted all that much to protest anything about government; I never had any real reason to.
