More From Edward Snowden

Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. a group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members. in a free society, the "rights" of any group are derived from the rights of its members through their voluntary individual choice and contractual agreement, and are merely the application of these individual rights to a specific undertaking... a group, as such, has no rights.
Rights Agreement Individual Choice
Freedom is necessary for two reasons. it's necessary for the individual, because the individual, no matter how good the society is, every individual has hopes, fears, ambitions, creative urges, that transcend the purposes of his society. therefore we have a long history of freedom, where people try to extricate themselves from tyranny for the sake of art, for the sake of science, for the sake of religion, for the sake of the conscience of the individual - this freedom is necessary for the individual.

The need for collecting large campaign funds would vanish if congress provided an appropriation for the proper and legitimate expenses of each of the great national parties, an appropriation ample enough to meet the necessity for thorough organization and machinery, which requires a large expenditure of money. then the stipulation should be made that no party receiving campaign funds from the treasury should accept more than a fixed amount from any individual subscriber or donor; and the necessary publicity for receipts and expenditures could without difficulty be provided.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.
Mean Atheism Way
Virginia states' rights, as our forefathers conceived it, was a protection of the right of the individual citizen. those who preach most frequently about states' rights today are not those seeking the protection of the individual citizen, but his exploitation. the time is long past — if indeed it ever existed — when we should permit the noble concept of states' rights to be betrayed.
Past Rights Long
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

If i seem happy to you . . . you could never say anything that would please me more. for men are made for happiness, and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'i am doing god's will on earth.' all the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy.

A plant needs roots in order to grow. with man it is the other way around: only when he grows does he have roots and feels at home in the world.

The purpose of our holy and righteous god was to save his church, but their sin could not go unpunished. it was, therefore, necessary that the punishment for that sin be transferred from those who deserved it but could not bear it, to one who did not deserve it but was able to bear it.
