Like many Democrats who thought we had elected Al Gore President in 2000, I wanted regime change to come to our country for eight excruciatingly long years. And I tried doggedly to help make change happen. As a writer and editor, I took to the "internets," and I also got more active in elections. Why didn't we carriy torches in the streets? Why didn't we occupy office buildings and courthouses?

"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."
