(12,265 posts)I enjoy a good debate of issues. I also agree with many of the posters who say it is "who owns the data" we should be discussing. I don't believe that Snowden should have his character impuned but...when he put himself out there, leaking what some people consider state secrets when he signed a document saying he would not do this makes one pause about his character.
Just an aside, I had surgery a few years ago and had to pay up front. I did not have that kind of cash sitting around and had to use my credit card for the "down payment". Ever since I am on all these "spinal surgery" lists, get email, voice mail and snail mail for products related to that issue. Now that does bother me....
As I said above, maybe I should be more concerned than I am about what is going on now with the NSA but I am still on the fence. Some have suggested I am not "progressive enough", not really a "democrat"...ok, I can take that. I could counter, but why pour fuel on that fire when people are so angry.
I am thankful for the people who have been kind in their posts, even those who disagree. I agree with one post, it does make using the ignore button easier. I have a few since posting this, so be it. I get ignored by lots of people, I live in a really red state!
