If Chuck Schumer is a nexus of evil, John Gilmore is a nexus of good. Prior to last night, I knew that he had co-founded EFF, and knew that he was an activist in the fight against the drug war, but I had no idea the breadth of his influence. Among other things, he's been a major contributor to MAPS, Erowid, the Marijuana Policy Project, and Students for A Sensible Drug Policy.
