Better than a rose.

Edward Snowden. I’m impressed. He’s an intelligent and articulate fellow. Deserves respect. And my gratitude. For daring to take on the system.  The way the world is run. By politicians. By bureaucrats. In senseless ways. He’s labeled by those he exposes. As a traitor. But really, he has no decent country to betray. Instead, he attacks the indecent. From within.  That’s admirable. And patriotic, too.  He’s a man without a country. Not necessarily by choice. Because he is what he is. The same as a rose is a rose is a rose. But Snowden is better than a rose. –Jim Broede
