Like Snowden and other whistleblowers , the leak itself may be sloppy , and may have collateral damage , but in the end , the good outweighs the bad , and knowing is better than ignorance . Light is better than darkness . <| sep |> I work for a company that services septic systems and we are thankfully closed all day today . However I am getting paid for a 10 hr day to sit around in my underwear and answer phone calls about backed up septic systems . My boss doesn ' t want to com in the day after thanksgiving so we close for the day . I always volunteer to take the calls so I don ' t have to waste a vacation day . Some of the calls are pretty crazy . Last year someone called in because their grandchildren were over and flushed a stuffed animal and it got caught in a pump .
