Like a true junkie who hears about 10 keys of pure smack hitting town, I'm drooling for the chance to read these cables. If I can't get my hands on some of this shit soon, I might have to start a manhunt for this Wikileaks dude myself. He's just like a pusher - keeping all the good stuff for himself. It just ain't right, especially when he's still holding on to that Afghani war porn that Manning gave him.

Have to disagree with the tagline of your blog; government is created on the nationalist assumption; but the nation is not a real political entity. Anyone who wishes to leave will be forced in; that is a violation of rights necessary to the existence of government. Hence, governments are created to violate the right of association. Since they are criminal to start with, it can only go downhill from there. Hiya Jim.

Well, at this moment, his heart is still pure. And when your heart is pure, you can do no wrong, regardless of what it may look like to third party observers - or to your victims. :D How is the Obama Administration different?

Then again, if we had a public with an attention span longer than a a yapping dog's, we might have a Press that thought it worthwhile to work harder for the public. Then again, if we had a government that did not think its role was the pursuit of Utopia at Gunpoint, we might not even need whistleblowers.

Since I completely forgot about them, let's revise that figure to 95% in moral oblivion. I already counted the Obamatons and Bushwhakers.

In Amurrica, it's all about how you do something, not what you do that counts. It appears that 90% (or am I being optimistic?) of the population has spiraled into moral oblivion.
