Frank is tracking the Charlie Nesson hacktivism proposal (that I mentionned before) and he offers this conclusion:

Bleeding heart sucker, right? Maybe so, but in Larry’s Chicago School mechanisms of control mandala, I’m looking for technology as an enabler, not a disabler. […] And if that means that the internet can’t become a new kind of fancy television, then it’s not going to be a fancy television – period.

The whole post is excellent. It expresses the kind of attitude I want to hear more often.
