MANNING; PERSPECTIVE; THE TAO OF WHAT IS REALLY RIGHT OR WRONG

Sending that 19 year old boy, Manning, to prison for 136 years, bc of his misplaced ideas of how to help the world be a better place, and his juvenile breach of trust, is a much bigger crime, in the all inclusive eyes of the unknowable TAO, than anything "uploaded" to WikiLeaks. Shameful. I am reminded of social utility---of scandal---or depth--say, Trayvon Martin, his gold teeth grill, tats, drug and gun posts, and the pap we were fed that he was an innocent child. Here is Manning, the same age, making bad decisions, but doing it with the intention of influencing the policies and wrongs he saw in the military--- why isn't HE a child? Because he could THINK, read and had an agenda beyond smoking dope &; hip hop "music"? Think about this. Manning, breaching his top secret trust, trying to fight out against a great and monstrous wrong...yes, choosing the wrong vehicle. BUT``after careful thought, study and trying to right wrongs. Must his "espionage" be dealt with? Yes. Is he a "child" every bit as much as the others we label such? He is so young, there are Boy Scouts his age still wearing uniforms and boys his age going to prom. He can't even buy a beer at the enlisted club. Wrong is wrong. This is wrong.
