Edward Snowden is a patriot. Let's get that out of the way right now. He informed the American people about illegal practices the government was taking in order to keep a "closer eye" on us. That part is pretty simple, but, when it comes to the idea of freedom, I can see both points of view.
Personally, I have nothing to hide. I am an open book. My idea of freedom is being able to walk out your door at 2 A.M. and go to the grocery store. Rights like this, are not restricted, therefore, I feel free. If the government wants to see phone calls, what we browse on the internet, where we travel to, in order to keep our nation secure, I'm honestly o.k. with that.
On the other hand, why am I being watched?? I haven't done anything to threaten my nations security, I'm not thinking of ways to do it right now, and I don't plan on terrorizing the U.S. in the future. So leave me alone! Either way, you're going to have supporters of both opinions. Thank you for what you did Edward Snowden, you truly are a patriot.
