What made my day today was seeing the temporary statue to Edward Snowden (with Greenwald beside it) in Union Square in NY:

The statue was apparently soon "deported".

I was hoping for a real permanent statue. In the late 19th century telegraph operators took up a collection to put up a statue of Samuel Morse in Central Park. I wonder what would happen if there were such a popular demand for a Snowden statue that The People pitched in to pay for it. Let's erect it somewhere on the Capitol Mall.
