"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" - Mario Savio
"There is no greater gift to an insecure leader that quite matches a vague enemy who can be used to whip up fear and hatred among the population."
- Paul Rusesabagina, humanitarian
Ideas are very important into the shaping of our society. In fact they are more powerful than arms, tanks, guns..drone bombers
And this is because ideas are capable to be spread without limits... anywhere globally in an instant.
[They] are behind the choices we make today
Ideas can transform the world in ways governments and arms cannot
Fighting for liberty with ideas makes more sense to me
With ideas we can make real change that lasts.....Ron Paul

Holi Shit from Frank Sauer on Vimeo.
Holi Shit takes a team of freerunners, geared up with a
bunch of “toys” which were as great to play with as they are to watch
in slow motion and follows their adventures through the abandoned
suburbs of Berlin.
Every big city has one thing in common. After a while it is quite hard to get out of a place filled with so much energy. Chasing those abandoned buildings and feeling the calmness of a place once filled with so much life was truly inspirational.

We were disheartened to hear late last week that prominent Egyptian blogger, activist, and friend of EFF Alaa Abd El Fattah was arrested again. According to reports, Abd El Fattah's home was searched, his laptops seized, and wife Manal Hassan beaten by authorities when she demanded to see a warrant. Their two-year-old child was asleep in the next room at the time. On Dec. 1, his detention was extended by 15 days.
Abd El Fattah rose to prominence as one of Egypt's first bloggers, writing at http://manalaa.net/ along with his wife. Over the years, he has been a steadfast supporter of free expression, protesting against both the Mubarak dictatorship and more recently, the military regime. The charges he faces currently stem from an alleged call he made for protest against military trials of civilians.
In addition to the arrests, there were a spate of attacks against the online accounts of activists, including Mona Seif, Abd El Fattah's sister. Seif lost access to her email account after her brother's home was raided, and the Facebook page of the No Military Trials campaign—which Seif leads—was maliciously taken over. Both accounts have since been restored. read more>>>
