On Snowden... An excellent article in The Guardian (the U.S. edition of a U.K. paper). An excerpt:
Snowden has provided the most valuable thing that democratic
self-governing people can have, namely information about what is going
on. If we are to exercise our rights as self-governing people, using the
information he has given us, we should have clear in our minds the
political ideas upon which we act. They are not parochial, or national,
or found in the records of supreme court decisions alone.
A nation conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal, enslaved millions of people. It washed away
that sin in a terrible war. Americans should learn from that, and are
called upon now to do so.
Do read
the whole thing...
