I keep trying to find a villain in all this, are the banks evil for cutting off Wikileaks from their funding, is Wikileaks evil for indiscriminately publishing sensitive info, is 4chan evil for hammering those who tried to thwart Wikileaks, is Switzerland evil for jailing Julian on what are suspiciously convenient charges?
Then I remember. If Julian worked for the Washington Post, he would be a hero of the Left, and we would have seen cables from the Bush and Reagan administrations published daily for weeks amid cheers and applause from their loyal readership.
But Julian doesn't work for anybody. He's alone. Except for those who mistrust their government no matter the political affiliation currently holding sway.
Yep, Wikileaks would be heroic if they had a sponsor. All they have is us. And 4chan. The truth is most always inconvenient to the powerful.

Negative, the woman "cut through" onto his property and saw he was naked inside of his own home. It makes as much sense as the guy who fell through the skylight while he was robbing someone and fell onto the knives upside down on the knife block, sued, and won. I couldn't find a similar story that I believe is different but one woman actually trespassed onto the guys property peeking into his window and had to stand on her tippy toes or get right up to the window to see him, and he was arrested as well. How can someone committing a crime cause someone else to commit a crime? Even if it could, it should be null and the original crime should take precedence and be the focus, for if it had not happened then there wouldn't have been a second.. right?

Aldenissin, I would venture to say that you are an anomaly in the Christian world.
He might be an anomaly among American Christians (many of them give me the impression of reading a completely different bible than I do), but I suspect even there he's not alone. In Europe, there are definitely many Christians who have no problem with people being naked in their own home (or even outside of it), or smoking marijuana. It's possible many are somewhat uncomfortable with it, but that doesn't mean they want to prohibit it.
Then again, I live in a country where marijuana is practically legal, despite a conservative Christian party having been permanently in power for over a century (with the exception of 8 years during the '90s).

What makes you think Scientology is weak and fang-less? They kill people. They broke into a federal agency and stole documents without repercussion. They blackmailed the IRS into granting them a tax exemption.
