Edward Snowden

I think what Snowden did is wrong. He betrayed his Nation.

I also think democracy doesn't scale. I mean c'mon, if you have a country of 100 million citizens or more, then the government is a huge and complex machine with lots of delicate decisions that affect the lives of large groups of those citizens; many of these decisions are not even known to the commoner, let alone understood (because their analysis would require a level of expertise and knowledge in a particular field like industry or education). And how can you expect the common Joe to make any meaningful decision? Choosing sheriff or a mayor for your little town is one thing, but choosing some guy who will be the head of your whole country? Most voters will be just guessers unconscious of what they are voting for or against.
