to suffer such an extended incarcerative kick in said pants :)

There's always a price to pay for helping people :/

At least Assange is taking an unremitting stand - if nothing else
he's an example many more could surely emulate and the world would
be better for it.

One needs -some- ego to survive in this dang world - something I am
completely unacquainted with of course, providing the Dalai Llama's
personal Humility 1-0-1 lessons and all...  =D - there's just nothing
quite like the ignorance of bliss, and for everything else there's
Mir card.
