During Snowden's first Hong Kong video interview he acted confident, was verbose, and had a post nasal drip going on, consistent with a cocaine buzz. He lived with a pole dancer, probably making more than he did giving lap dances. Drug use is common among club dancers. Someone willing to throw their citizenship away forever for 15 minutes of fame is probably not thinking straight. Snowden may favor drug producing countries because of the low cost of drugs there.

Russia has a booming economy, 13% flat tax, no capital gains tax, and most people are not even required to file tax forms. They have an oversupply of beautiful unmarried Caucasian women and few minorities. Their population density has fallen to the point they favor freedom and traditional values and reject communism. The language is hard to learn but Russia has far more going for it than a third world banana republic.

I haven’t seen any evidence, in any of his statements or actions, that suggest that he is looking for fame or fortune. He sounded sober and resigned to his semi-doomed fate. He had a pretty cushy, comfortable life in Hawaii with a great job, and a slutty GF. It really appears that he is one of a handful of gov agents that have acted on principle.

At the end of the day, most Americans believe that these dragnet monitoring programs, focused on citizens, are wrong.

Post nasal drip = cocaine usage?

Geez!
