Paranoia: Right click -> Revolution!
Mon, 18 Sep 2006

Every few months you hear another odd story about the friendly law enforcement in the UK with its streetcorner cameras that monitor the average joe. One hopes they actually use them to catch a pickpocket once in awhile. Theres also this bumf of late about the US spying upon and wiretapping its own citizens, and of course all the fun conspiracy theories about Bush Jr. getting into office. And now good ol' former Calculator-maker HP spying on its own employees. Not to mention RFID tags on everything, without even the decency to encrypt their data...

Whats next -- cameras in ATMs?

Once in awhile I sit back and mull it over and think about V for Vendetta and get all paranoid; when did so many parts of the world begin to slide into conservative theological fascist domains?

I mean, haven't they nursed at the teat of Sid Meiers enough to know better?
