the authority of the government extends only so far as it's within it's constitutional boundaries...our government hasn't been within those boundaries in decades, so by our constitution, they don't have the right to exact control over us or dictate laws or convict anyone of anything...the problem is that the american people are too lazy to overthrow the establishment...jefferson an washington woulda been done grabbed the rifle an gone to fight at this point...

I completely agree.
Humanity deserved to know, now they know; has revolutions sparked? No, like you said people are too fucking lazy in their lavish lifestyles. So the only thing Snowden has accomplished is a stronger tension between political super powers.
And the things that was imperative to our privacy nsa leaks and stuff; first off has been known. Secondly, he also sold government military tactics and information to other countries to gain asylum. Hes selling his country to help his country, that doesn't sit too right with me.
Though, I commend him for telling us about the NSA with evidential proof. Besides the things that I find important to the united states people. Hes a traitor and could have cause a 3rd world war. Hes fucking irresponsible and should have leaked individual files through wiki leaks causing riots on a small scale until it woulda escalated internally; instead of dropping everything at once.
He forced himself into the corner and the united states into the spotlight, he cause way too many fucking problems.
And yeah, benjamin and thomas would probably take rifle to the streets for overpriced food at walmart. People like you started doing a lot more talking then acting; now here we are, arguing between each other about why nobody is doing anything and whos morally right and whos wrong....
Step your game up, cause a revolt; I will follow. If not, shut the fuck up.
