'''Ello….Nopeo'''
This is what I have learned  from dealing with online communities, now called Social Networking ™(c)(r), since the early 1980's
1) Manifestos do not make a change, change does.Â
2) Â Transparency Means Transparency..Privacy Means Privacy. Marketing Means Meh. Centralized Means Meh.Â
3) Â VC Funding Comes At A Cost
4) If Your Code Is Not Open Then "Faith" Is Your Trust Metric
5) "The change, it had to come, we knew it all along. We were liberated from the fold, that's all. And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution, take a bow for the new revolution, smile and grin at the change all around, pick up my guitar and play…just like yesterday. Then I'll get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again No, no!"

From The Kids Are Alright
100s of high school.kids walked out of class, teachers pulled a sick out….the conservative take over of my local school board here in Jefferson County CO is causing all manner of reaction. The conservatives are shocked and outraged that students and teachers would cause such a fuss over ham fisted revisionism of the History curriculum and other such actions. According to them civil protest has no place in thier view of American History.
The layers of misinformation, lack of education and unintended irony are thick.
"Civil disorder and social strife are at the patriotic heart of American history – from the Boston Tea Party to the American Revolution to the Civil Rights Movement. And these events and ideas are essential within the study of a college-level, AP U.S. History course.â€ï»¿
Schools close and more student protests loom as the fight over history curriculum continues.
Politicians, pandering and appeasement. Lest we forget…a miracle if we remember. 
That terrible pain the befalls us when enjoying an icy treat! How does that happen? Is there a cure?
