-I guess you don't understand or don't want to understand how democratic process works here. The Intelligence Community has a big pull in decision making here.

-There was 2 whistleblowers worth of mentioning in the article, Manning and Snowden. The rest were just careless or wanted to profit off the info they got. It shouldn't be a surprise that Petraeus got a slap on the wrist. After all, we got legal bribary running rampant here.

-Oh boy, I'm not gonna discuss a Mac World idealism right now. There are borders, we live in now and there are laws and policies to follow. If we lived in a perfect world, I'd agree.

-Most only have their family savings as their safety net to fall back on in times of hardship. Which would be in crisis.

-Unfortunatelly, you can't have a cake and eat it too. That's why progressive wing in the Democratic party is trying to fight to get money out of politics.

- And Barack Obama is the commander-in-chief and also knew what the president was capable of before coming to power. Instead, he jsut made that Guantanamo statement to look like a good guy and not have to follow through on it.

- On the article it doesn't make any mention of them wanting to profit off of the leaks

- And I oppose a lot of the laws because they are biased and treat people unfairly

- 34% of Americans have no savings at all, and 35% have less than $1000. So most people don't have any money in the bank to fall back on

- And they're going to get nowhere. Keith Ellison, who was not even nearly radical, still lost the DNC chair. Money is never going to get out of politics within the current system, the whole point of politics is money, that's why property rights are so important in the United States. The only way that will change is with revolution, because the Republicans and Democrats have no interest in making less money.

-One thing is have an idea, the other is getting it implemented through Congress. And special interests is a thing.

-What was the purpose of Jim Sterling giving out top secret information about Iran for a book? James Hitsleberger should've gotten a heavier sentence for exposing troops positions. And Jin-Woo Kim just gave a Fox News contributor info about UN medlings just for the f*cks of it.

-What's unfair about enforcing laws for people that have no documentation? I believe in clemency and facilitation of emmigration but let's not turn a blind eye to the dangers of leaving undocummented people living in the shadows.

-It's not just savings, pensions would get wiped and mortgage defaults would lead to property seizures. Talking about concentrating more power in the hands of few.
