So when they say I'm a low-level systems administrator, that I don't know what I'm talking about, I'd say it's somewhat misleading.

There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.

Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Your rights matter, because you never know when you're going to need them.

It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised - and it should be.

I don't want to live in a world where there's no privacy, and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity.

I used to be a mddle-of-the-road kid, but now with my freaky looks I'm definately an outsider. Hooray.

I aspire to be useful.

In America, we have long stood by the principle that the protections of the law are not meant just for some.

Help people with problems, your problems disappear.

I put less stock in others' opinions than my own. No one else's opinions could derail me.

I knew President Yeltsin well. He would never have tolerated government officials demonstratively showing off the millions they acquired through corruption, the way it's done today.

Zealous in the commencement, careless in the end.
