war crimes, but go ahead and demonize them. We need people to expose wrongdoing by our government, even if it means breaking the so called laws written to protect the 1%. And I never called them heroes and I don't yearn for heroes, so please stop misinterpreting what I write.

DAMN! I wished I lived in the late 60's and early - mid 70's again. I'm getting old and I just don't have the stamina that I used to, otherwise I be out protesting the illegality of our government.

Our own fucking government is stalking us but that's alright, as long as we have nothing to hide. BULLSHIT! Yes, that's right, stalking, in the name of fighting terrorism.

But people seemed unconcerned because Snowden broke the law? SMH
