  2. glad you gave it back to “the man” on Wednesday!

  3. What is the opposite of war?

    Could it be going to the fridge and seeing a cat (apparently well-groomed and healthy) sitting in a weather-beaten box on your fire escape?  After deciding I wasn’t a threat, she went back to her true interest: bird-watching.

    Cute as hell!  Have to get a camera for these moments…

  7. points out a few things.

    if the government has the means and the ability to spy on citizens without proper restraint or sanction, it will.

    Why in the world was it so easy for any State Department employees, much less contractors, to access such files in the first place? These are three of the highest profile people in the United States. How many other people’s files have been accessed and for what reasons? This is, after all, the Bush administration, where even the Justice department was run as an arm of the white house political machine.

    This is the problem. Human nature alone dictates that if people can stick their noses in other people’s business they will. When there are also the incentives of power (and perhaps, money) it’s almost irresistible to some people. That is why the fourth amendment exists — the enlightenment concept of our inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness depends upon our ability to maintain our privacy.

    A right to privacy is fundamental to freedom. If we don’t strenuously protect it, the consequences are that we won’t be free. It’s no more complicated than that.
