John Atkinson:
> The conclusion I have arrived at after two days of pondering
> is probably incomplete and may shift with time. Aaron Swartz
> is what I wish I was. I am a bright technologist, but I've
> never built anything of note. I have strong opinions about
> how to improve this world, but I've never acted to bring them
> to pass. I have thoughts every day that I would share with
> the world, but I allow my fears to convince me to keep them
> to myself. If I were able to stop being afraid of what the
> world would think of me, I could see myself making every
> decision that Aaron made that ultimately led to his untimely
> death. This upsets me immensely. I am upset that we have a
> justice system that would persecute me the way it did Aaron.
> I am upset that I have spent 27 years of my life having made
> no discernible difference to the world around me. Most of all
> I am upset that Aaron's work here is done when there is so
> much more he could have accomplished.
