The way Snowden said it's out of control? Where's the proof?

Keep telling yourself that this is all about "dreamboat Snowden v dreamboat Obama". That kind of BS plays well here in the DU bubble. In the real world - well, not so much.

Myself, I prefer reality. Your mileage may vary.

Just remember that you're "in a safe place" here, where others who think just like you do will bolster your every fantasy.

"uninformed acquiescence - you might want to look into a mirror now and again, you just might recognize yourself.
