No epiphany to me. Just a reminder.
However, many people seem to think that government is all beneficent, and seeks only good for all the citizens. I just used the Wikileaks story to hopefully cause some of them to think about basic assumptions of the goodness of government.
As Representative Barny Frank said in his Town Hall meeting this past summer in response to a voter complaining that she didn't feel she could trust her government anymore. " Whoever told you to trust your government?"
Its was one of the most revealing thing I ever heard him say.
