Some things are secret for good reason. Very little in what Manning released had any reason to be secret. On the whole, the country is better off having this information public than not.
The point isn't to get Obama to do anything. It's to make clear to the public who Obama actually represents. Like you said, he's a pro-corporate big media friendly president. The more blatant this is, the better the chances a third party has in the next election.
Hold on. The point of exclusivity is to draw more customers to your service. If you're drawing more customers, that's more revenue. If you have more revenue, you can use that to pay for the exclusivity. If you're not expecting to make enough from new customers to pay for the exclusivity deal, then making the deal doesn't make economic sense for your business. There's absolutely no reason to raise rates on existing customers to pay for an exclusivity deal.
No it's not. It's incredibly bad actually. None of the characters are remotely believable or likeable. It's hard to get into a spy show when you're rooting for the protagonist to get shot. And the premise? "When you're a spy, you don't get fired, you get sent to Miami." WTF is that? I watched a half dozen episodes of this with family and it was completely and utterly without any merit whatsoever.
Do they not cover Kipling in law school? They should.
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: -- "We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: -- "Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again, That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"
What's more, "work" is only "worth" as much as someone is willing to compensate you for it.
No, my work is worth what my employer sells it for. If my work was worth exactly what I was paid for it, my employer could not make a profit by selling the products of my labor.

Now that I know it's been around for 15 years, I'm kind of impressed it's still working, and not terribly surprised that it hasn't morphed well into newer technologies that are being used in ways people were only beginning to think of at the turn of the millenium.
It has. Flash was originally a platform for vector animations and games.
changing the mindsets of those individuals with disproportionately more power, who make the decisions, is what is needed
No amount of protesting will change the mindset of sociopathic CEOs. As long as there is concentrated power, people will be corrupted by it. We have to eliminate those positions of power.

Worker productivity has increased over the past 30 years, while worker income has remained flat. We're not asking for handouts, we're asking to get paid what we're worth.
The Supreme Court seems to think that their rulings supersede what's actually written in the Constitution. They are wrong. When they cannot enforce the Constitution as written, they endanger the legitimacy of our government.
The fact is, nobody really wants to hear about anyone's job. They have to pay you to be there, you wouldn't do it if they didn't, but when you have free time and the attention of other people that's what you're going to choose to talk about? Please, tell me about your hobbies instead.
So you're saying that, in the bottom 99% of the country, not a single electable candidate exists?
No, what I'm saying is that every electable candidate gets ruined by the political machine. I don't doubt that Obama was a nice guy with good intentions when he arrived in Washington. But he's since turned into a monster. Any candidate fielded by OWS would suffer the same fate.
They've already conceded their political impotence.
They haven't ceded anything. Political potency has been taken from them. That's why they're out on the streets instead of campaigning for politicians. The people have no sway over the political process in America. The sooner we all recognize that the system is broken, the sooner we can work on fixing it.

Except, as a private in the US military, that was not Bradley Manning's job or duty to decide.
Whose duty was it to correctly classify documents? Why are they not being tried for dereliction of duty?

If only enshrining something in the Constitution actually protected it from Congress.

Yes, of course.
The fact that you can do math with it is empirical proof that it exists. If it didn't, you couldn't do math with it.

Of course they exist. They have properties. Something non-existant can't be said to have any properties besides non-existance.
