“Eventually history will tell the story of how Edward Snowden came out and revealed the extent to which the feds – under the guise of protecting us from terrorism – were laying the foundation for a police state. This was deeply disturbing to thoughtful people…if there were any…who feared the rise of an all-knowing, all-powerful Big Brother, from whom no secrets are kept, from whom no desires are hidden. And it was disturbing too to the Big Brothers themselves. They insisted on knowing everything about everybody else’s business. But they made it a crime to reveal what they were up to! In short, nobody likes a snitch…and a snoop especially dislikes a snitch.”
