Silver Hair

so, how important is it, media fear mongers of the world, that Julian Assange has “silver hair”--- you seem to include it in every description of what is happening to him, what he has done in his life thus far & somehow you squeeze it into every possible story that has anything to do with him--- WE ****ING GET IT. if the man had been born with a dreamy Johnny Depp dark brown, would he still be depicted as some kind of crazy madman character from a blockbuster that comes out in the summer, bearing the need for some hero to come & wipe the world clean of him? maybe if he had passionate David Caruso red & a pair of Ray Bans always on, he’d be seen as a tough coppish type who never takes off his suit jacket, no matter how hot it is in Miami & the world would fall in love with him every time they see his picture? we are talking about a man who has dealt a wonderful blow into the stomach of the policeman who runs the world, someone who’s organization continues to allow whistleblowers to expose vital truths in a world full of lies & all that you can find worthy of description is the man’s silver hair?
