You don't get to do that Snowden, just because you disagree. Enjoy China you weasel. I hope you get a thousand chopsticks jammed up your asshole.
I do have a problem with the government looking into every type of communication, but I think its in the interest of protecting us. I'm not strangling kittens, dealing drugs or comitting murder so I[m not worried what they know. I'm not some paranoid fucker who thinks the government gives one shit about my daily activities. Do you really think Barack Obama is sitting around twirling his moustache and giving out orders to spy on every American because he gets off on it? They have a tough job trying to figure out who's going to be the next Boston Bomber -- let them have some avenue to predict it.
The real problem is that thousands of contractors in the NSA have top secret clearance. Didn't they think its possible some of them could have a problem with what's going on and blow the whistle?

It's definitely your past military service that gives you this mindset - I find it jaw-dropping tbh.
"The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment explains it all. I find it amazing tbh, but then, I'm not a subservient person, and have a conscience.
