Ok. Conversation is good, when people are not talking. But we need progress on hard topics. Compromise.

How long do you need to talk before you get to: I don’t care. I’m taking care of my family. End of discussion. Or, our firm needs to grow in order to be competitive (and other economic ideologies of continual growth)? Or, government regulations are too burdensome. Let this be decided by the people who live (upstream) here.

I’m not inclined to be generous for half a discussion. If Snowden wants to lead, then lead.
