People contrary to what you believe "The Government" and "The People" are similar in various ways. Both wake up every morning go to work do what they have to do to make sure society runs the way its supposed to. Both are made up of three different branches "The Government" being Executive, Legislative and Judicial while the three different branches of "The People" consist of White, Black, and Hispanic. So I ask you (defenders of Wikileaks) how would you like it if you had an Australian constantly going through your garbage for information, listening to your family conversations regarding how your wife is cheating on you because you were so caught up in your Christmas lights which lead to her needs not being met. Or how about going through the endless amounts of pornographic material on your home PC finding videos of things only legal in Mexico? And then after all the scrutiny that same Aussie takes the gathered information and makes it public knowledge. WOW! wouldn't that just be horrible? Well "The People" now you know how "The Government" feels. Now if while digging through your dirt that Aussie discovered your family is secretly "The Coneheads" and are from another planet well then that would obviously be something we all should know about. But if all he found was you talking about how fat Meghan the next door neighbor got is there really a need for publicizing nonsense? There's a forum designed just for nonsense like that its called a blog! RIDICULOUS.
Based on the intelligence level of this blog post, I think the only thing that chaps this author's ass is diaper rash. I mean, c'mon; There's a huge difference between what Assange did and the idea of "digging through your trash". For starters:
ReplyDelete1) We, the people, PAY government out of our own pockets to act in our interest. Government should act upon the will of the constituents in a transparent manner; the more secretive government becomes, the higher the chance of corruption going unrecognized. Sure, every government needs to have state secrets, but those secrets shouldn't include blatant human rights and international law violations.
2) Who are you, Mr. Ridiculous, to decide what information is important or not? I personally don't care if you watch donkeys banging pregnant cats in a mexican dumpster; I've seen it on your laptop and never bothered bringing it up. But if it was your pregnant cat being molested, you might have an interest.
Bottom line, Wikileaks serves a vital role to ensure that government stays honest and thinks twice before pursuing blatantly illegal means to an end.
Over and, out.
