For my next prediction....
Somewhere on the interwebs is the article which I cannot now find about the NSA revelations (B.S., Before Snowden, IIRC) which ended with a particularly pungent quote about how nothing was likely to change because people would complain on Twitter, but that wasn't the same as voting their suddenly awakened consciences (and besides, all of Congress knows how to handle this: either declare Snowden a traitor, or be shocked, shocked! to learn the government has a secret program to gather all your electronical traded stuff. Something the NSA has been doing since it was No Such Agency, and the building in D.C. didn't officially house anything and wasn't really there. My memory is long, indeed; almost as long as my sentences. Suck on that, Marcel!).
