"Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men." –Ayn Rand

This may explain why there have been so few demands from the Left for accountability from the government in light of the Snowden revelations.

    "If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."

    The ignorant savage is unknowingly doing the dirty work for his tribe, the government. While he thinks himself a hero, he is a pawn and he will be sacrificed in public service. Amen.Unfortunately, there are so many of them.

    Good. For those great many willing to sacrifice themselves, I'm willing to help them realize their desire. On a permanent basis.

    I'm not so sure. There will be a great many who feel privileged to have sacrificed themselves for the common good. The philosophy of sacrifice is being taught from a very young age.

    When they wake up and find all they thought they had is gone, then they will want to fight. But then, they will be too late for they will not have prepared themselves to fight.

    There's no accountability for the left on ANYthing, not just the NSA scandal..., but they sure are trying to paint Snowden a traitor...and not the just the left either. Sickening.
