I wasn’t bragging. We’re having a conversation (or rather, I was trying to have a conversation with you) about leaking classified information, therefore it seems relevant that I’m not an outsider. If you took it as braggadocio, that is unfortunate and, I assure you, it was unintended.

This is PWI. The freedom of speech applies. Also, who cares what I write? Do you think the NSA gives my opinion any credence? They are not that bored, trust me. From what I’ve seen, they have bigger problems to handle.

Finally, I simply contributed my sentiments to the thread, as did you. You were the one that took my post and started the debate. If you’re not interested, it seems like you started something you’re not prepared to finish.

Again, as always, have a lovely day.[/quote]

No hard feelings. I just feel like I’ve had a conversation with someone who admires and defends Bader Meinhoff or the Red Army Faction. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re young and ill informed. Again, no insult intended. We’re all uninformed about something. And I wish you a lovely day too. :slight_smile:

Perhaps he is old and wise enough for you to hear the message. It’s only 15 minutes, and I promise you, there is nothing Red about it.

I know this has nothing to do with Wikileaks, in a literal sense. I just watched it and couldn’t help but think of you.[/quote]

Out of respect I attempted to play it but it won’t work on my iphone. You’re welcome to give me the gist.

Thanks for the attempt. I do not want to butcher the message, but maybe you could download the TED talk app? It’s free and contains some of the most inspiring messages from speakers of all disciplines. Not trying to sell you on it, don’t know how your data plan works, so if you have the time or access elsewhere, I recommend checking it out.

Basically, gratitude makes us joyful, not the other way around. And at around 13 minutes or so, he speaks of a revolution, not in a violent sense, but one that revolutionizes the concept of revolutions. Peaceful networking, I think is the idea. Not an inverse power pyramid. He says it much more eloquently than I can, being a Benedictine monk, and all. Again, I greatly appreciate the attempt and the respect. Best of luck, my iphone has been pissing me off recently too :wink:

Just had the thought to embed the video. Hope this works for you.

EDIT: Hmm… no sure if that’s any different. Oh well, I tried.
