Stop the Big Brother State

I just found one of the most interesting movie commentaries I have ever seen on the web. David Scharf comments on the tradeoff between freedom and security, on his site: Big Brother State. The main thought:

We believe that people willing to trade freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.

Great thinking and execution. A reminder about what we are actually giving up when we give up our privacy.

(On an unrelated matter, I am adding a technocrati tag here: Technorati Profile)

I’m On the Run from the Killer B’s

B for Belief. B for Belonging. The B's that lead to most of the killing in the world. If you don't Belong among us, then you're our inferior, our enemy, or both. And you can't Belong among us if you don't Believe what we Believe. Maybe not even then, but it certainly helps. Our religion, our party, our tribe, our town, our school, our race. Believe. Belong. Behave. Or Be Damned.
