Comment SFW–– at least Lessig is seriously try (Score -1) 224
Lawrence Lessig was so seriously influenced by Aaron Swartz with his ideas and his question to Lessig, “How do you ever think you’re going to make any progress on these issues so long as there’s this corruption in the way our political system works?”
Lessig's response to this conversation was, “This was Aaron, this was the way he worked,” Lessig said. "It was never, ‘This is what you should do.’ It was, ‘What about this? Shouldn’t you be thinking this?’ And it made you recognize that if you wanted to be the person you thought you were, you had no choice but to yield.”
Personally I've supported MaydayPAC and have tried to help spread awareness of it. I do wish Tim Wu and Zephyr Teachout had won in NY this summer. However I'd actually rather see Tim Wu (the man who coined Net Neutrality) as the chairman of the FCC.
