There are other values beside echo bowl that we have built.

The surveillance state,1984, cyberwarfare, drone warfare is with us.

This is a major, major issue in our time.

I hope you young people will not forget this.

Prior toSnowdens release in September, Stone toldUSA Todaythat he supported neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump for president.

These candidates have not talked about cyberwarfare and Snowden.

We need to think about what we are,Stone said.

Lets make America honest again.
