Smack My Head!

This section is dedicated to all those times when you just can't believe what you've just heard or seen. Most entries will be related to politics - for where in America is there a richer ground for the absurd? Some entries will just be every day acts of foolishness that serve no end. Some will present folks solutions or attempts to "make right" the things around them they think are absurd, hurtful or just embarrassing!

Our Constitution

"Government programs such as MATRIX and Carnivore are destroying our privacy. We live in a democratic society and government-controlled data systems are a dangerous step toward establishing a 24-hour surveillance society. Recently Northwest Airlines provided the names, addresses, travel plans and credit card numbers of its customers to a NASA project in complete violation of its own privacy policy. In another example, JetBlue provided information from over a million of its customers to the Transportation Security Administration, also in violation of its own privacy policy."

"The government and corporations are aggressively collecting information about your personal life and your habits. They want to track your purchases, your medical records, and even your relationships. The Bush Administration's policies, coupled with invasive new technologies, could eliminate your right to privacy completely."

"They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and, well, we're not using it anymore."
