Men of the Year

snowdenTime magazine in the States chose the Pope as their Man of the Year 2013. Good choice. He seems to be the real thing.

Another strong contender, though, has to be Edward Snowden. I agree with David Sirota’s article yesterday for Salon: he’s no traitor, he’s a whistle-blower and a hero.

The Pope is in a position to change the course of the institution; Snowden was not, best he could do was blow the whistle and then duck. Hopefully, in both cases, the tubes have been squeezed hard enough that ain’t nobody gonna put all that toothpaste back in.
