Well, I think ignorance is our greatest enemy. And lucky for us, ignorance is something that can

be defeated, you know, and I think if people take the time to actually look into this case and

understand what Assange did and what he's doing and what he's standing for, it will be fairly

simple to realize that this is someone who is trying to give us all a fuller life, a freer life, a

happier life. This man is actually bringing us a gift. And we should be very, very, intelligent

enough to see that, to see that if we look into our lives, there will be all these areas where we

can be free people. We don't have to be just stooges and slaves of whatever the media is telling

us, is the flavor of the week. You know, this is really something I mean, it's a great, great

offering and we should rise up and accept it as the offering that it is. I mean, I don't want it to be

his life, though, that's being offered or the father of the children of Julian Assange. I don't want

them to be like so many of the children of assassinated, imprisoned people where they grew up

without a father. If that happens, how can we bear it, when we could prevent it? We can prevent

it. So I would just say for all of us, you know, just start studying. I believe in study. I believe in

learning. I think learning is one of the greatest things you could do to free yourself. Learn

everything you can about this case. It'll reveal your country to you in a way that perhaps you've

never seen it. And let's just get on with it, we are the many, they are the few.
