Privilege, Rights or Privacy

by offthecuffeveryday

Edward Snowden a name that will whisper with the like of Benedict Arnold for sometime but unlike Arnold, Snowden used his freedom of speech to unveil what most people consider their right ” Privacy.”  The issue as we know it is whether the government has the right to invade our everyday life or you could consider McCarthyism being replayed. We  may be consider Communism if we speak aloud of our government and the power that “WE THE PEOPLE” have granted but for you to live the life that presented to you is like a cloud within your sight. Government as in history was created by the powerful to manipulate the oppress and dissatisfied as you have to look no further than to the African slave trade, Jewish and Palestinian oppression and the masses of slaves used within the British Empire, Spanish conquest and many other conquering mongols.So when Edward Snowden broke his silence and what most consider a traitors’ act remember that you have the right to elect government and protest  but understand that you also give up your privileges to be Free as you see it within society.

Snowden fled but so what should be his consequences ! Life in prison or should we change the Constitution regarding free speech. Hmm-mm.
