member of my family, actually making me feel worse. So what is better? Seems to have helped ruin DU as a civil discussion board, especially on the topics of Manning, Snowden, NSA. Can't really do anything about what I know except to blow off steam especially since if the government says things are being corrected....how will we know? Turned a lot of my fellow countrymen and women into exposing their hate for Obama without control...showed a lot folks I thought highly of as closet bigots...so what exactly is the benefit? I am not going to vote Republican and I am not NOT going to vote for the Dem candidates. All of it has damaged the reputation and cooperation the US with its allies and enemies more than US warmongering. I don't feel safer. I don't feel more afraid of my government. Hasn't stopped and won't stop corporate spying on consumers. Yeah...what have we really gained? The big loser in all of this is a President who is trying to deal with many, many complex foreign and domestic issues that actually really affect the lives of people. And actually has made the President seem an enemy of the LBGT community when, in fact, he has been their best ally in office. It is all so sad. And the constant focus on the subject is becoming almost irrational. Of course, this is my opinion. But you seemed to ask for it in your OP.
