I wonder why Ben Franklin said, "those who trade liberty for security, deserve neither."
Snowden acted according to conscience. His leaks exposed extensive government corruption. People are not happy with surveilance.
A healthy government fears its people, not the other way around. During the last century, over 150 million people died at the hands of their
own government.
Obviously normal law-abiding citizens have much to fear from abusive governments.
I thought you might be a Christian? Have you never read how many genuine evangelical Christians have been tortured and killed for their faith at the hands of their leaders?
