Well, since I don't pay for bandwidth, but just the connection (I'm one of
the useless 20KB servers way down on the list) it's just the same either
way for me. But I still feel like it is a cause worth supporting, and this
is the only way I know how. I wish to give people the freedom to access
information they want, without fear of being marked or asked to rectify
their reasons for needing the information. Information, knowledge, should
be free for humans to use, to help them understand and learn. And I think
tor has brought a lot of people the freedom to do this, where it was not
possible before. It can protect people trying to do the right thing
(whistleblowers), it can expose people to new ideas that their government
tries to suppress (i.e. China), and just give us an overall sense of
liberation by not being tied to a numerical address that defines our every
move.
That is my intention.

Sorry, didn't mean to preach information liberation to everyone... It's
just kind of a personal thing for me. =D
