The litmus test Right from Wrong

The story of Tim DeChristopher is enlightening. Please view it here. It is a fascinating exploration of what happens when the clarity of right and wrong are applied to real-world issues while evacuating all of the social norms. He saw what that land auction represented an illegal land grab by the powerful facilitated by the fed government pukes. Further, he even was able to put up the money to make good on the properties he bid on and won. Way after the fact, Obama sec of interior determined that the auction was in fact wrong, as it failed to follow fed EPA laws. Curiously, the judicial branch does not feel that these issues are relevant to the illegality of DeChristopher's participation in the auction.

It is really a blessing that at least Mr. DeChristopher was able to shed light on the land dumping practices of the W. Administration. How many others were handled in a similar manner? It would have been a wonder if four or five others had been able to enter the auction and really make it interesting.

It seems that there is a real price to be paid for exposing the rot in the current system, look at how hard the Feds are chasing Wikileaks.org dispite the numerous comments of "nothing to see here move along" to they [wikileaks] has blood on their hands. Nevermind that the Feds never let facts get the way of a good story. More recently the work of wikileaks has exposed the truth of the kindness and nobility of the USA toward Haiti done through magnanimous trade deals and embargos, not to mention coups.

Reality is that the number of instances where the right choice is made are exceedingly rare. The mendacity of the US government seems to be without bound, and the US mass media are the subservient poodles.
