When asked by German news magazine Der Spiegel:
"You could have started a company in Silicon Valley and lived in a home in Palo Alto with a swimming pool. Why did you decide to do the WikiLeaks project instead?"
Julian Assange replied:
"We all only live once. So we are obligated to make good use of the time that we have, and to do something that is meaningful and satisfying.
This is something that I find meaningful and satisfying. That is my temperament. I enjoy creating systems on a grand scale, and I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable. And I enjoy crushing bastards. So it is enjoyable work."
This quote sums up a beautiful and powerful life mission statement and a good prescription for us all - find things that are meaningful and satisfying for you and pursue them eagerly.

The Pentagon as well as White house are hyperventilating once as soon around being held to account. They've even gone up to now to request WikiLeaks be listed like a terror organisation which prompted the business who collects the donations on behalf of WikiLeaks, to cancel it's contract. What are they so anxious about? Truly WikiLeaks be exposing the world's secret diplomatic backroom dealings? I believe so. Well accomplished WikiLeaks. Also, Entirely Bradley Manning!

Every day now some social revolution is attributed in part to the exposes in Wikileaks.
It works.
