Perhaps, the Government wants everyone to be stupid and complacent and not mind having everything being scrutinized and being under constant surveillance. After all, what fun is it for those running the show if people only have a limited sense of what is going on.
Russian 14, what is happening in the U.S. right now is that there are more important things to us that we do care about and we don't have our "heads in the sand" for and we were not complacent about...what took place in Texas and North Carolina and the Supreme Court Rulings. It is what the government can tell us is legal or not legal about our medical care and rights to our own bodies and whom we can marry and if the federal government can discriminate. We care more about those things. We care passionately on both sides of those issues and you will find people who cross party lines, economic and racial lines as well.

Russian 14, one woman stood up to the Federal Government and won her case. One Woman. And by doing so she has help to end discrimination in the United States by having equal treatment under the law for all married couples... One Woman.

Maybe if Mr. Snowden had followed a different path, if he had obtained counsel instead of "leaking" the information, maybe he would have helped his case and he would not be in the situation he finds himself and he would been seen as a true whistle blower and not a traitor.

I guess you have not been following this story??? I'm not talking about kids posting pictures and talking about how their day went. This shows you that it is not the NSA that we really have to be afraid of, it is everyday people.
