A tribute to Aaron Swartz who was killed by the system! Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file-sharing networks. The worlds entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations. Most people, it seems, stretch the truth to make themselves seem more impressive. I, it seems, stretch the truth to make myself look worse. Without the ability to talk about government power, theres no way for citizens to make sure this power isnt being misused. At the end of the day, we have an economy that works for the rich by cheating the poor, and unequal schools are the result of that, not the cause. Normally, I just sit in my quiet little room and do the small things that bring me pleasures. I read my books, I answer email, I write a little bit. https://youtube/watch?v=vXr-2hwTk58&index=152&list=PLlUPYeSABrNJhpEVeqQpYl9RuIAIitpQT Quotes picked from: brainyquote/quotes/authors/a/aaron_swartz.html#weK0eBvsSX277WbF.99
