Traitors to the United States of America carried and revered the Confederate battle flag while killing almost 400,000 Americans. It is more than unpatriotic to display it, it is more than disrespectful, it is an endorsement of treason and mass murder!

Employers of America! If an employee of yours is found to display or otherwise covet the Confederate flag, "FIRE THAT SONOFABITCH! FIRE HIM!"

"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."
