Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

mlknowle writes "Wired has just posted a great interview with former EFF president and ACLU associate director Barry Steinhardt. In the interview, Steinhardt expresses concern that next year will be an even worse year for civil liberties. He does offer tips on what to do to help, however."

      Your casual use of the word holocaust cheapens the plight of the Jews. You, sir, are an anti-semite.

    Hello again, guys. I have more info on that vision that I reported earlier. You can read about it here: http://slashdot.org/~Sam4522. Some of you think I am crazy and some sort of goofball, but I'm being serious. I'm going to ignore everyone except the people who want to help me discover the Truth about my vision. So anyway, here's the new info I have: I called Art Bell on his radio show. He requested that I attempt to bring back the vision by sitting at my kitchen table again while eating breakfast. (Since the vision, I have avoided both breakfast and the table.) So this morning I did everything exactly the same way: ate hickory-smoked sausage, scrambled eggs, and a small bowl of Cheerios. At first I didn't expect the vision to return, BUT IT DID!! I saw the exact same vision: lights, spaceship, jibberish... Then, the jibberish started making sense. I know aliens don't likely speak English, but they were saying something directly to me. "Sam, Sam, we will come. Soon." Those words were just as plain as day. It seems like there was something else they said, but I really don't remember. I woke up from the vision still sitting there with cold sausage and soggy Cheerios. I will keep you guys updated on the progress I have in interpreting these visions. Try listening to Art Bell's radio show and you might here me. And no, I'm not crazy or trying to troll, so don't post those stupid comments after this post. I am quite sane and hold a full-time job.

    Shake your fist and you shake the universe. Just by moving the
    mass of your hand back and forth, you are sending out ripples
    in space and time - pieces of traveling gravity that distort
    everything they meet. These subtle waves will race outwards,
    warping the substance of the sun after about eight minutes,
    and then heading out into the vastness of interstellar space.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Yeah, and $250 to the Scientologists too. And I bet you blow at least $50 a month on "oil treatments", exercise equipment named after abdominal muscles or with the word "power" in the name, books on how to make money through the power of classified advertising, magnetic bracelets, and anything, anything, from RonCo(tm).
