horse character argument
Where they couldn't pick holes in our arguments they would drive horses and carriages through my character.
character injustice ability
Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love.
ignorant cages persons
To keep a person ignorant is to place them in a cage.
writing media organization
As we have seen, WikiLeaks is a robust organization. During my time in solitary confinement in the basement of a Victorian prison, we continue to release, our media partners continued to write stories. The important revelations from this material continue to come out. We have approximately 2,000 cables into 250,000.
writing thinking rights
If instituted, the TPP's IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you're ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.
adventure daring ifs
If we can only live once, let it be a daring adventure.

You can either be informed and your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you.
internet penetration best-things
The penetration of society by the Internet and the penetration of the Internet by society is the best thing that has ever happened to global human civilisation.
adventure eye grandchildren
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
justice goal important
The goal is justice, the method? is transparency. It's important not to confuse the goal and the method.
hands people needs
The greater the power, the more need there is for transparency, because if the power is abused, the result can be so enormous. On the other hand, those people who do not have power, we mustn't reduce their power even more by making them yet more transparent.
limits knows
What we know is everything, it is our limit, of what we can be.
crush meaningful people
We all only live once. So we are obligated to make good use of the time that we have and to do something that is meaningful and satisfying. This is something that I find meaningful and satisfying... I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards.
