thats fine. i was simply making a point that people violate laws as a form of revolt against said laws. many people think federal drug laws are unjust, & violate them as a matter of protest.
do i think snowden = thomas paine? not exactly. snowden is exposing a surveillence program while paine is protesting tyranny. However a secret surveillence program certainly can be used to conduct a tyranny, depending on whos running it. & in our political system, those leaders are constantly in flux & you never know when the wrong man gets power.
