how do you know all that? do you have direct experience or was it this horrible media env that somehow got you the info? when you compare the last 100 years to the previous forever, it's better. when you compare the amount of good information (and much more crap, I agree) compared to 40 years ago, is it not better? people like Assange and Greenwald fight for it to get even better. they don't do libsoftictoc style shit that ramps up division. we are not fucked.
