i dont trust any goverment..they all want to spy and take more control...just that...
it is the same in Germany, UK, Russia, China and USA...and it was the same from 1000s of years, you may even read that in ancient greek tragedies- good cases of unchangable human nature of power hungry people and greed for more power and more, more....so dont be fooled that Germans, French or other gov guys dont spy on their citizens....
Snowden
i'm pretty sure that some people are very angry at him in USA..just some people....50 years ago hippies were saying that "one man, one word,one song can change world..." today we have Senor Snowden, true hero of human liberties and basically - guy with balls...
and what else ? its irony of history that ex KGB guy Putin is giving asylum to exspy from USA....and in the same time the same ex KGB guy is jailing greenpeace activists because they wanted to tell about possible earth devastation....and that las thing is saddest actually, more important than whole NSA, Obama, Putin and money...but sadly most of the people don't see nothing more than end of their nose....
and what else ? its another irony of history that today German people and its goverment are kind of haven of common sense in politics etc. while USA, being savior of Europe 70 years ago changed to some kind of oppresive Empire in international politics....kind of , of course, as it still good country with (few) great people
