2. Snowden is a hero.

We should be in the streets by the millions. But bread and circuses keep the people in their chairs.

6. I don't know if it's still up, but yesterday, you could have signed a Restore the 4th petition.

I love that they got a nationwide response going in a couple of weeks. Not that most media reported it.

I did not hear a word on Boston TV about the march in Boston.

I did hear Peter Zenger rolling over in his grave, though.

4. Some blond news bobblehead just called Snowden a spy.

A spy collects information surreptiously and illegally.

Snowden did not do that.

He is a discloser, a revealer. That he may have done illegally, if he has no First Amendment defense, but he is not a spy.
