See... That’s the problem with tyrannical regimes, loyalty is really not a virtue to be commonly found for those who do the day in day out work.

Its the reason why Snowden and others are coming out of the woodwork. Basically, there’s no credibility to the good faith and authority in the United States Government. And that is a huge problem with a lot of dimensions to it.

One of the most thought-provoking comments I've read here in a while.

Who would have ever dreamed that one day we would trust the Russian government over the Federal government, and Pravda over the NYT?

Would men of good will go to war with Russia only because Hillary says we should? When will the time of mass civil disobedience arrive?

Anyone read Thoreau's writing on civil disobedience lately, or has that book been burned by the limbs already?
