BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING
OK. So last night Pete and I were watching Boston Legal. One of the characters said something that now the government is now spying on political blogs. And it doesn't take much to make someone a suspect.
Matt tells me I don't have anything to worry about. They are not looking at blogging moms. Still!
I comfort myself with the thought that I'll soon lawyers on both coasts.
EEK!
A few days ago, I was listening to Public Radio. It may have been Science Friday. Apparently a company has started marketing a new crime fighting tool to police departments. It's a little flying camera that can zero in on a fleeing suspect better than a helicopter. Even through narrow spaces, fog and other conditions which would stop a helicopter.
I tried to explain this to Pete and Matt on Monday night, and compared it to something I'd seen in a frightening Science Fiction movie or TV show. Neither of them had seen anything like this.
I remember it vividly. It was round and flat, about the one foot across with a big electronic 'eye' that blinked as it tracked people all over the place. Anyone else hear about this?
NO. I AM NOT PARANOID!
I'M JUST ON THE ALERT!
I watched that same Boston Legal episode! I stumbled across your blog while searching an Arundhati Roy quote and was fascinated by the fact that political protests with thousands of people are not covered by the media. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and for the tiniest protest if I send the press release at the right time I can get news coverage. It's so unfortunate that in a country where so many things are going wrong the media is not covering the people's voice.
