After giving this some thought, I realized that average geek, American Ed Snowden, has restored my faith in the generation behind me.
Here is someone who went through the total indoctrination and then, ten years out, the freedom loving American rose up and threw that crap off of him, took the ultimate risks, both for him and his, and stood up to obama and the Beast!
Is he the David against our story's Goliath?
Is he this generation's lone man in Tiananmen Square standing against a line of tanks?
I don't know yet, but I don't see him as a traitor guilty of treason. Right now, he looks more like Paul Revere.
I think I see a very brave man doing what every other who saw the same things was unable to do.
I AGREE with your entire statement, as well as your closing sentence above..
