Take A Break From The Snowden Drama For A Reminder Of What He's Revealed So Far

[JDPriestly]

20. Seriously, are we supposed to be as outraged by the report you

discuss as we are by the simple fact that a private corporation has been hired by the NSA to spy on our communications, to trace the paths of our communications in the world?

We are in an electronic prison called America, and we are supposed to be upset because one of the prison guards is telling people in other countries that they, too, are in this electronic prison?

That doesn't sell very well as far as I am concerned.

I am one of the millions of Americans with very little and even less to hide, but the idea that my government wants to cut my Social Security checks so that it can fund programs that cage me in with regard to my contacts with others is really offensive to me.

I'm not that interested in what Snowden tells the Chinese. We know that they already have the whole world under surveillance.

If we don't like that fact, then we should stop buying our underwear from them. It's quite simple. If the grocer cheats me, I stop buying my groceries from him. What is so difficult about that?

But it is a little tougher when it comes to my own government. As you know, I didn't just vote for Obama, I worked hard to get him elected. Is supported his ACA although I think it is less than we need.

But this??????? I don't doubt Snowden's word that he had the ability to collect much more information on Americans than Obama has admitted.
