(27,985 posts)I was always accurate and had perfectly valid motives when I chose to be a whistleblower, so what does that mean, really? And no, I didn't go through the useless channels. I went through the channels that got the job done. I also managed to never get fingered. And no, my whistleblowing was and is on a much smaller scale. But the hospitals I work at would rather I didn't tell their unfortunate truths. They, because of my son, now get their wish.
Don't get sick. Trust me on this one. There isn't likely a hospital in this nation that is put together with anything other than spit, chewing gum and baling wire, and most are missing a few of those items.
And for the thousandth time, this isn't about the character of Snowden, it's about the truth that came out. It's more precious than gold and maybe, just maybe, we can take back this country. Probably not, because most people don't give a shit, but he gave us a fighting chance. What have you done lately on that front?
