Message: [QUOTE="Dipsy, post: 1924, member: 24"] I don't think you're out of touch. It does seem though that the ethics and values of the populace are changing and I consider it a change for the worse. People like Snowden who are given high level security clearances, access to highly sensitive information and then decide to make a public disclosure which has the potential to damage our security, image and put lives at risk. And there are a lot of people who regard him as some kind of hero when, in fact, he should be shot. Then there is the soldier Manning who turned over a bunch of secrets to WikiLeaks, got courts martialed, sentenced to prison and is now demanding the taxpayer foot the bill to change his gender to female. He also should have been shot. Every day there are news reports citing information provided by someone who wants to remain anonymous because they are not authorized to talk about the subject. Our president wants to grant immunity to several million illegal aliens who have shown a blatant disregard for our laws. Leaking and pirating computer software is just a minute symptom of a much more widespread disregard for honesty and integrity. Sad to see the direction our country is headed. [/QUOTE]
