87. I agree, if some think that spying on us is fine

and that those concerned are paranoid weirdos, why don't they spend their time on something more "real life".

I would go somewhere I though would deepen my knowledge or understanding of something I thought mattered.
We will probably never know the whole back story to the Snowden Affair but I doubt Snowden put himself in this position lightly.
Saying dumb things or believing political propaganda when one is young does not mean that person can not grow or change his mind.
I suspect Snowden has more character and integrity than most of his countrymen could ever dream of possessing. Maybe it is that realization, that results in such caustic attitudes toward a man, who has risked his neck to inform us about what our government is doing behind our backs.
He is at the least a patriot.
