Quotation by RH Tawney:

Opportunities to rise are not a substitute for a large measure of practical equality of income and social condition. The existence of such opportunitiesÂ?depends not only upon an open road but upon an equal start.

The human species will either rid itself of the geno-sadistic anti-justice idea to allow unlimited personal fortunes or we will succumb to the results of having the next and the next and the next wealthpower giants ad infinitum.

"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."
