The NRA? Don't you mean the NSA?
Yes, I think things are coming to a head now. These scandals are not limited to one president or party; in fact many of the republicans are defending the NSA's illegal spying, since it started with Bush (well probably it started long before that, but he pushed it forward). When both parties are open about their disregard for our rights, you know it has gone way too far. I think Eric Snowden is a very courageous young man, but I fear he gave up his career and probably his life, in vain, because too many people in this country just don't care!
