Information -- Knowledge, data, facts, POWER.
In formation -- Conformity, mindless obedience, DEATH.

How lofty should I set my goals?
(Life, liberty and the pursuit of bandwidth?)
How realistic?
(Am I so naive as to suggest complete intellectual anarchy? Maybe... and maybe not.)
How far should I be willing to go to achieve them?
(Write a letter to the editor? Get arrested at a rally?
Raid a ship and throw the TEA into the cold harbor water below?)
How far would other people go?
Where does this "I" become a "we" and where does that become the "us"?
(And where does that become the U.S.?)
Lots of questions. Few answers.
Now. Step away from your computer. Take a few deep breaths. No stress. No hurry.
Now...
PANIC.

Whatever your view point is -- say it.
Whatever your answers are -- do them.

Who is to say that I am right? Or that you are right? We are.

Let us discuss the options -- freely.
Let us talk about it -- openly.
Let us...communicate.
