A Walk Through the Mind

I recently sat in with Abs 'na 6 Pack: Tattle of the Douchebags, and I had to bring two people who I believed did the biggest tattling/snitching/narcing: Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.

Both, big names, have been associated with releases of damning government information. How each is known for their release of information is quite different between who published and who had it published.

Right or wrong, was the information they released good for the outcome, 13-11 years ago to now? Have we improved with the information we've been given? Have we continued to follow up?

I have a change of format today, as I've done too much research on AT&T, only to realize it is a massive undertaking of how much history this company has. I have decided to focus in on their monopolistic history from different angles in hopes we may walk away with a bit more information, at one level or another, than what we had when we went in.

Peace and Prosperity usually are said to go hand in hand. But in a recent reading of a book, there was a country that stated that they look more for Prosperity before Peace. How do we attempt to balance the two?
