thatz a much better way of hitting the home run on

If you have nothing to lose you have nothing to hide

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.

my moto from the pre snowden/opm hack days.

Granted USA is not a true Democracy but doesn't that defeat the purpose of a Democracy?

Of course I know that you can't have freedom and security these days but should we just start re-labeling the states as a different type of government?

I'm by no means an expert however if we are to have freedom to keep our secrets why is it shameful to do so - even if it is "something to hide" is fearful to divulge we should still have that right to make the choice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please, because I'm still very young with politics and as such am still learning a lot about it.

Could you clarify, did you understand the error of your statements once the Snowden leaks happened, or are you saying you still agree with this oft refuted (il)logic?

His logic makes perfect sense to me, because almost everyone has something to lose, which means almost everyone has something to hide.
