While I understand why the free FreeRoss issue is an important one for the bitcoin community, I can't help but feeling as though we have been hoodwinked into focusing on a very small action while many others remain unresolved.
What about Edward Snowden and the plethora of other political persecutions?
While Ross has gone through a lot, wouldn't "freeing" Edward Snowden send a much louder message against corruption and three letter agencies ignoring the rule of law?
Are we that easy to appease as a community? I for one am ready to push any government much harder and to hold them to a higher standard.
