Liberty Without Borders
In the early days of the Internet, there was a dream. Shared by geeks, hippies and other true patriots, the dream was that information would be shared without having censorship or spin, citizen to citizen, worldwide. The citizens so informed would be thus united without borders artificially dividing them would be empowered to work together toward progress, freedom, equality and justice everywhere and for everyone. When a Russian coupe attempt failed against Gorbachev in 1991, the Internet helped keep the unfiltered news flowing from a nation whose official news outlets were under the control of the plotters.
With five days left in the countdown to no confidence, we turn to a vision of the future which is actually very old: as old, at least, as our republic. We want liberty, and we want it unencumbered and unfiltered. As Gonzales twists in the wind surrounded by information he cannot stop and which belies his every word, perhaps the 21st century has truly begun.
If we believe in our own liberty, we can make it so.
