God damn it. I have to rewrite the whole thing fuck.
Edward Snowden is not a hero, he is a fucking retard.
Not only did he violate his contract with the NSA (you have got to be fucking stupid to do so), he also released information that was already known! Whether you knew that the government was spying on you or not, everyone already knew, and Edward just put a spotlight on it. He made the Government mad, and will never be on US soil again, unless it's in a casket or behind bars.
If you honestly think that you need to be afraid that the government has access to your "personal" shit, then you really need to learn more about the purpose on the NSA. There are computer codes set up for phones/internet/etc. Basically all they do is store them in a gargantuan data base, and have a level of importance from 1-10. 1 being that the file has no keywords detected, and 10 having several keywords detected. When I say "keywords" I mean that they have a huge list of words that may infer a threat. All of your personal shit will 100% likely never ever be viewed, unless of course you are planning to kill someone. The NSA keeps records for many reasons, they can predict or catch an attack before it happens, or catch the attackers after the attack.
I get frustrated with people that are all "yo obama is listnin 2 my call bro, anarky!!!11!1!", because they do all they do to keep this nation safe!
