If you find yourself having the time to watch it, this is a phenomenal illustrated lecture about Education. I think you'd find it informative and thought provoking whether or not you agree with the conclusions.
I think you would then be guilty of illegally detaining the people inside the business.
Unless your barrier was only one way, in which case you'd probably have the money by selling your barrier technology to actually purchase the business and be done with the whole affair.
I don't know of any activists so cowardly that they hide behind anonymity. Well, there is a group that USED to organize anonymous protests, wearing masks and hoods when they marched, but I don't think anyone wants to be associated with them.
Paying someone else to be your voice instead of speaking for yourself means that your time is more important than the cause you supposedly believe in. In doing as you suggest, you commit nothing and you risk nothing for what you claim to be your beliefs. It shows a lack of conviction and is in many aspects a cowardly act, especially if you then have the gall to compare yourself to protesters and activists who faced immediate beatings, social ostracism and jail time for their support.
Well maybe to those who are motivated enough to read through the raw documents, I think more people are finding about what is contained in them from the new sites releasing info than from wikileaks itself. The problem with the sheer amount of information is that most folks can't or won't process it all, and far more people won't understand what they're reading or who is being referenced without the help of news agencies. Just like most people won't understand Dennis Miller jokes without looking up half the references.
I would suggest that Watergate didn't actually cause any major change in the system either with your definition of "Major information". Yeah it's well known and popular, but causing actual system changes? Not really, the government is still corrupt and still lies, the system wasn't changed because of it.
"i think the fact that there has been no major leak that is detrimental to a government or a company has occurred since watergate, escapes these people. werent there any scoops ? werent there any brave journalists to handle them ? surely. why didnt anything in the scale of watergate came up ?"
There have been many "scoops" from Enron to Tobacco Companies, every time I open a newspaper there's at least one article telling us something a company would like us to keep hidden. Admittedly there weren't any leaks of raw data on the scale that Wikileaks received, but until recently the U.S. government didn't have wide open security holes across the government as the result of departmental sharing of information. A single person upset with the way the U.S. is doing things simply couldn't go to their government computer, insert a thumb drive and walk away with hundreds of thousands of documents.
Yeah, why have journalists or media at all, they've never worked to uncover secrets or to publish the words of whistle blowers, there's obviously no reason to ever have news agencies now or ever again.
I'm pretty sure they went to the police trying to find a way to force him to take an STD test. Probably because they both had unprotected sex with Julian and he refused to take one. I'm under the impression that the sexual assault charges were suggested as a round-a-bout attempt to force him to get tested.

Just remember that his description on who is "valueless and inane" applies to you as well.
I personally disagree with such a broad generalization, as to apply it to every member of western society.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

And they need that education too! Considering that they seemed to think Charles was somehow connected to the tuition hike.

I dunno, all the activists I know at least have the courage to associate their identity with their actions rather than hiding behind anonymity.
Absolutely fascinating!
You seem wound kinda tight. I suggest you take a nice long soak in a bath, a cocktail, maybe some relaxing music.
Stop encouraging crime.
What are you doing, driving in NYC? Take the subway like everybody else.

Oh and to address your statement:

Ignore my post, I'm a moron who replied too quickly, doesn't read, and doesn't take my own advice.
"Couldn't care less" is actually the correct phrasing of the "Could care less" error you linked to. Good try though.
I can't believe I got suckered into reading that whole thing. I tip my hat to you sir...I tip my hat to you.
The U.S. government is planning to build a giant machine to block the sun, their last and greatest enemy.
So does that mean when the US doesn't extradite him you'll admit that there was no conspiracy?
