Mr. Snowden is an absolute hero in a world with no absolutes! He took an oath to protect this country from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. The most difficult task for Americans seems to be standing not as a group, but as individuals who fight to protect our own basic rights. We mustn’t allow them to be infringed upon, we must strive for and defend the freedoms and ideals our fathers, grandfathers and other great statesmen and women have lived and died protecting. Every man, every woman, must safeguard and defend the Constitution of the United States of America with unfailing conviction, unyielding ethics and the utmost integrity. Mr. Snowden is a man who has fought for the rights of others (us), and in doing so, must make great personal sacrifice, including his freedom…yes, that’s Goddamned heroic. Thank you.I know not everyone will agree with me, but as I said, there are just some things everyone should be willing to fight for, and this is one of them for me. ~ Taylor Tryst S.L. Williamson~
