I disagree entirely, and despite my preference with Ed as his involvement encompasses Bitcoin, general cryptonerd stuff and the fact that I really enjoyed the 1/2 of Permanent Record I read, I still think Manning has shown great conviction under horrible circumstances and continues to Freedom Fight under constant horrible duress and personal harm.

I don't have heroes, but if I did the two would hold equally high positions given the efforts to inform the public at personal sacrifice to their careers and Life.
