Perhaps your dictionary gives a different meaning than mine. Authoritarianism is rarely a good thing. Look it up and get back to me. I think you may want to withdraw your comment. At least I hope so.

The rule of law is important, I agree, but not absolute. When any citizen finds gross violations of liberty and/or the constitution, they should be applauded for making that public NO MATTER WHAT THE LAW SAYS. Very few are brave enough to do so. Snowden, to his great credit, was brave enough.

Wow. BillZBubb Jun 2014 #7

No, I'm not interested in you telling me how to vote, and that's just what you did. JVS Jun 2014 #9

Do you think it is just window dressing? BillZBubb Jun 2014 #12

I have no reason to think its a conscious decision to deflect or re-brand... LanternWaste Jun 2014 #13
