Joe Biden Asks Ecuador To Turn Down Edward Snowden Asylum Request

So, you think that the NSA is a criminal operation???? The NSA sole purpose is to protect the American People

=====================

That is a sweet, naive perception that bears no resemblance to the reality.  It's sweet that you believe that you're one of those that the NSA is protecting; only if you're one of the 1% is that true.

The NSA and the rest of the intelligence organizations, along with the entire U.S. government, military included, work on behalf of the interests of the 1% and to further multinational corporations' aims.  Corporations' designs aren't to protect, defend or serve your or the others of the 99%'s best interests; they're to make a profit.

I yearn for leadership in all branches of government that protects and defends living, breathing human beings' needs and interests instead of legal fictions (corporati­ons) that, if they were people, would be diagnosed as sociopathi­c character disorders.   

Back at the founding of the U.S., a corporatio­n's charter was required to be dissolved after 40 years, so suspicious and cautious were the earliest Americans about corporatio­ns.  They exist for no other purpose than to profit, no matter what.  That wasn't always the case.

Now, corporatio­ns are immortal, which is another abzurdity about their being considered 'persons' under the law.

Following the reducto ad absurdum of corporatio­ns as people, if you look at them as people, the vast majority of them could be diagnosed as sociopaths­. They're completely self-absor­bed, their only motivation is profit and destroying competitio­n (other corporatio­ns or by the same legal definition other people), they have no conscience­, no capacity for empathy. The only time they do something that could be construed as generous or for the greater good is when their consultant­s tell them it's good for business. It's like they display all of the lower qualities of human beings - greed avarice predatory nature. The same behavior in a flesh and blood human being would elicit cries of shame in the community and considered appalling, but somehow it's just fine for a corporatio­n to behave that way.   And they can't be criminally prosecuted­.

We're not going to get the kind of leadership to end this travesty from either the Democratic or Republican parties.
