University Professor Chastised For Using Tor
Irongeek_ADC writes with a first-person account from the The Chronicle of Higher Education by a university professor who was asked to stop using Tor. University IT and campus security staffers came knocking on Paul Cesarini's door asking why he was using the anonymizing network. They requested that he stop and also that he not teach his students about it. The visitors said it was likely against university policy (a policy they probably were not aware that Cesarini had helped to draft). The professor seems genuinely to appreciate the problems that a campus IT department faces; but in the end he took a stand for academic freedom.
All you United States Postal Service dudes, chew on this for a bit.
You may not be sending or receiving child porn. BUT i GUARANTEE THAT SOMEONE IS SENDING OR RECEIVING CHILD PORN USING YOUR MAILBOX IF YOU ARE SET UP TO USE THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. In this situation, you are enabling and promoting child abuse.
Or, a cop could see a request for child porn spew out of your mailbox, followed by your order for viagra that you were so ashamed about. Have fun talking your way out of that.
Wow. I hope if you ever find yourself jobless that the people around you who are working have a better attitude than yours.
If your Jackoff-in-Chief wasn't throwing away half-a-trillion a year on a failed war (see today's NIE report) there would be more than enough money to provide health care to uninsured Americans, even with the HMOs and insurance companies making obscene profits. And if we put a little thought into our Health Care System (besides just saying "Let the Market Do It"), we might actually have enough to provide health care for 300,000,000 million Americans. Have you ever given any thought to the teachings of Christ? He's pretty clear on how we're supposed to treat the poor and sick. But I'm sure you're too busy being a Right-Wing Christian to concern yourself with the actual teachings of Christ.
Asshole.
