“With enough of us, around the world, we'll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge — we'll make it a thing of the past.” -Aaron Swartz
“This is your life, this is your country — and if you want to keep it safe, you need to get involved.” -Aaron Swartz

I wish people would open their eyes an see how corrupt the judicial system has become. Its guilty until proven innocent now. An we have no chance to prove our innocence. The media is so biased and only wants a story to tell instead of reporting the truth. Its a downfall of our society. And its a shame on us for allowing this to happen. We need to stand up for our rights and what we beleave in. It saddens me that this man commited suicide. Bright and talented. Shame
ReplyDeleteI hear what you say a bout the media being biased, I feel that it is worse than that to my mind the media are just an extension of the conspiracy to have a world government were there are no rules for the elite. Be this in government commerce or any other part of our lives.
DeleteSuicide was simply the 'media story'.
ReplyDeleteThe real truth will be known someday,. I hope.
