Thanking Edward Snowden, Again

EVRYBODY IN AMERICA knows that every phone conversion is listened to and recorded by the government, as well as every financial transaction and bodily function. Kind of like a science fiction novel, or Russia. We know this, and we accept it, take it for granted, even though we only found out a few years ago. And just think, we have Edward Snowden to thank for all this, wherever he is, ihding somewhere in Russia, from the United States government. Seems to me he is more of a hero than anything. he should be allowed to come home, and resume a lucrative cafreer, with the blessings and thanks of we, the American people. Snowden warned us of the perfidy of our own government, which, in America, is herioc. Finally, an American court of law has had the gumption and obvious good sense to tell us what we already knew, or sensed: its illegal what the government has been doing, spying on its own people, all of them. Now, the question is, what is going to be done about it? President obama favors a plan under which all this information would be kept by a private corporation, A T @ T or somebody, and that it be given to the government only when the government asks for it. Evidently this lame "solution" is advocated by many in Washington, so it may come to pass. But what good would it do? It would change nothing. It just goes to show you what a corporate spokesperson Obama is; just as much as any republican. Better to force the government to throw out all the information it has, and promise not to ever collect it again.
