Loose lips sink ships and what not. <br /><br />On the other hand I believe in the first amendment, so I don't know where to stand on this one. I admit I am really torn because I can see both sides and agree with both. <br /><br />I do know with the internet and the ability to get a story out in real time instead of our parents and grandparents generation where they read the morning and evening newspapers have changed, and wikileaks and sites like that may be the news future. I just hope that newspapers don't die because of it.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474227548195593445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-29016007984775313342010-12-10T10:34:17.222+00:002010-12-10T10:34:17.222+00:00Great post, great artwork. :)
There is something ...Great post, great artwork. :)<br /><br />There is something rather hideous about having the truth exposed.. and a truth that, ultimately, we feel we have tacitly complied with..<br /><br />Thanks for this :)<br /><br />WG.Woundedgeniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249363389911958517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-19093888019431138762010-12-10T02:51:06.485+00:002010-12-10T02:51:06.485+00:00My tinfoil-hat-wearing comrades and I haven't ...My tinfoil-hat-wearing comrades and I haven't stopped talking about Assange; which is kind of a shame, because yesterday Elon Musk and his SpaceX company achieved a feat of historic Wright-brothers-like proportions, and nobody gives a fuck because we are still raving and ranting about Wikileaks —perhaps it's poetic justice? after all, Musk was the founder of Paypal, and look what Paypal tried to do to suppress Wikileas.<br /><br />Anyway, my head is considering multiple scenarios every 5 minutes with this. Was the Wikileaks scandal what we conspiranoids call a "false flag attack"? you know, to permit Assange disclose embarrassing information that is not particularly sensitive or top-secret, so the US and their lapdogs could justify putting the heel on Wikileaks' neck —the cybernetic version of the gulf of Tonkin... or 9/11, if you're into extreme conspiracy scenarios...<br /><br />In any case, what they fail to realize is that the damage is done. For better or for worse, no matter what happens to Wikileaks, many other sites will pop up to take its place, better equipped with knowledge on how to avoid the mistakes Assange did.<br /><br />The same thing that happened to Napster, which was obliterated by the music industry, but did not stop people from sharing media online —because Gnutella and Kazaa learned from Napster's mistakes.Red Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-3631534020255561942010-12-09T16:57:58.982+00:002010-12-09T16:57:58.982+00:00Hi!

I must admit I hadn't heard of the Venus Project (and, from the sounds of it, I probably should have!). Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm going to have a good read up on it and will let you know what I think.<br /><br />Thanks!Bitter Animatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617537816971588380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-86041750202753791612010-12-09T16:15:28.523+00:002010-12-09T16:15:28.523+00:00Hello.

I recently started following your blog as I found your drawings to be inspiring for me (with the new one as no exception!) :) <br />But on this post, I am so glad you've made this point. I agree with absolutely everything and have recently found this "alternative" society you're talking about called The Venus Project. You've probably heard of it, due to the way you finished the post. So what do you think of it? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. JonathanJonimationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17534734989688578425noreply@blogger.com
