Open Letter to that 53% Guy
Rarely do I ever like to just repost someone else's work, but this one" this one" is simply a magnificent liberal response to an "anti-99%" letter from a young and hard-working Marine. The understanding the original author presents is an example to me -- and I hope all of us, liberal or conservative -- of how to respond to those who disagree with us. I am humbled and awed at once. Great response Max Udargo. You reset the bar very high.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
