You can have your opinion but I feel that the 3 letter agencies ARE evil
& out to control & enslave the world. Hope for the best & prepare for
the worst. If the NSA/CIA turns out to be bunny rabbits, rainbows &
freedom lovers like ourselves than nothing has been lost. If, on the
other hand, they are truly snakes in sheep's clothing & we assume they
are just good guys doing their "jobs" the consequences could be
disastrous. Let's get real here, Do good guys, just doing their jobs
really need to arm police forces with tanks & frequency weapons & plant
agent provocateurs in peaceful demonstrations & manipulate public
opinion,etc,etc,etc. I have plenty of evidence the CIA is evil, if you
don't it's because you choose not to. Peace & Respect.

I don't think it needs to exist, just as I think CPAs are a waste of brainpower―since I don't thing formalized governments from which we cannot opt out should exist―but I can't logically conclude that anyone who breathes the same air as anyone in the CIA is automatically Scar from goddamn Lion King. If not Jesus-level-fictionally-perfect then villain? We're all villains, bro. None of us is even close to perfect, not you, not me, not Cody, and yeah, not Peter Thiel.

Just because he's made decisions that are regrettable only in 20/20 hindsight doesn't make him a villain. Real life's not a Disney movie, and people aren't binary.
