An open letter from Edward Snowden's father, to his son

Wow.

Just wow. That’s awesome.

I remember, as a kid during the Vietnam era, frequently seeing bumper stickers that said “My country, right or wrong”. That always left me really confused, because my parents instilled in me a sense of right & wrong, and the belief that you should never do wrong. A nationalist believes in that slogan. A patriot believes that his country should do the right thing, in accordance to it’s laws and constitution (where applicable), even when it hurts or is embarrassing.
