Freedom. A basic right that all men should be able to share. An idea that was radicalized and realized by revolutionaries of the 1700's. Just imagine for a moment. These revolutionaries were advocating for rights that opposed the powers that controlled them. How radical would they have to be? What if such a movement started today? Would you join them? Or would you want to stay under our current Government? My answer is an easy one, but I've given this subject a lot of thought. Many of you may not know that I am a techy guy. I am always trying to code something or do something to make my computer better ( or messing up my friends computers for fun.). Recently I have been following more tech world news too. In the past few weeks, you may have heard of the Wikileaks controversy. What could be more of a scare? Government threating to censor free speech! In the past few weeks, the US Govt has taken down around 80 domains, based on allegations of copyright infringement. They didn't take the time to check. . This government needs to learn 2 thing, however. Once something is up on the web, it can never be retracted. And all the company needs to do it publish their site to the infinite amount of URLs available.
I urge you to support this movement of freedom of information. While I don't agree with the way Wikileaks made the point of the need for transparent governments, I agree with the point they are making. Please head over to their site, link posted above and support them, or any other push for freedom! We must retain our rights! Help get America back to what it's meant to be!
