Aaron gave us an early wake up call.

It's up to us to keep focused and carry on with his vision.

If he would have been a bit smarter, he have acted the same as Edward Snowden.
I don't think he would have been granted asylum for his jstor docs.
I almost sure Ecuador and Venezuela would grant the asylum for him.

But maybe. I don't know it's just a sad case of bureaucrats killing creative idealists. Nothing worse in my opinion. Scourge of and eventual downfall of society.
