[Peace-discuss] Politico: Oliver Stone, stars push for Snowden asylum

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

I remember when i was just a little shaver back in the 60's
seeing people burrowing and tunneling under the Berlin Wall
to escape the totalitarian life and scramble to safety on
the "good side" of the Wall.

What a kick in the cods it is to see that now the US
has become the land of the fees and home of the slaves,
a disgusting Shelob serving  "none but herself,
drinking the blood of [elvish impersonators]
and men, bloated and grown fat with endless brooding
on her feasts, weaving webs of shadow;
for all living things were her food,
and her vomit darkness."

"We are so sorry that our Homeland is so corrupt
and dissipated and we are ourselves so hopeless and
helplessly enthralled by Big Sibling that we can't
do anything substantial other than sign letters.
So please, Mr. Correa, help Mr. Snowden
so we can get some relief from the guilt we feel.
We know that we helped create the federal monster.
We can't live with out it now, ya know.  So please
give Mr. Snowden a home.  We seemed to have
fucked ours up."
