Awareness means nothing if it doesn't effect change. And that change isn't always positive. Thus far I can't say that snowden has influenced much. It's been a lot of bluster and not much else.
You also don't get to praise him for leaking unconstitutional activities and ignore any damage he did to legitimate government operations. The government doesn't get a pass on that one and neither does he.

We've been doing this for decades.... no secret. Terrorists are the only people who should be upset or the countries these terrorist are being assassinated in.
Don't forget we have a piece of paper that guarantees your rights! Don't worry you are protected because that piece of paper will stop bullet, hail, sweat, blood and steel!
Oh my god the US Government tries to capture and kill our nation's enemies."Stop teh pressesses." Should we be mad at something the overwhelming majority of Americans support?
Snowden was a weenie in June. He's a weenie today. He leaked a ton of NSA secrets and *surprise surprise*, after a month, no one cared.
wait a country has a classified program to help assassinate people.. stop the presses and color me shocked... I'd wager most countries have a program like this, perhaps not as high tech but nevertheless its there.
If you can't make fun of something, its probably not worth taking seriously.
This was their "big" release?
Extremely underwhelming. Sounds like Snowden is being forced to really scrape the bottom of the barrel if this is his big bombshell.
I'm not apathetic. I actively support what the NSA is doing.
You want to leak information that could get people killed to spite the US government?Snowden, PLEASE leak everything you fucking got. It's for the greater good in the long run. Get the fucking scumbags off of their power driven high horses.

They terrorize us? Let's outterror their terror!
You blow our embassies? We drone your cities!
You assassinate our soldiers? We assassinate yours!
You try to raid and pillage our military bases? Well, now we raid and pillage your military bases killing everyone inside!
Eye for an eye logic at its finest. "The most advanced country in the world". Right. And they wonder why number of terrorists in the world grows year by year.
What legitimate government operations did he damage? And please don't confuse damage caused by our governments unconstitutional activities with him. I haven't heard of a single legitimate government operation that he damaged... I did hear plenty of operations damaged due to our government getting caught though.

If that is the case, I have no idea what to call you, cause you aren't a patriot or patriotic as you are actually supporting the neglect of everything our families fought and died for.....
