    Interpretation 1:

    Change the system from inside. Nothing changes without a decision from someone inside, and the easiest way to get that is to get a man inside.

    Interpretation 2:

    Facebook pretty much allows friends to communicate with eachother. It's mundane, and looks pointless outside of a particular circle of friends. But it is the democratazation of communication, man.

    Interpretation 3:

    "Boy that's a big bag of cash."
