Wow, someone just killed 5,000 people in New York city by knocking down the WTC and all I can think about is whether or not some nebulous company is out there gathering data on me.
Is it just me or does it sound like some people would be happy if the profiling data from their shopping cards was stored in the WTC?
If the data is available to help catch the people responsible let's just hope that none of them are/.'ers. Personally, I am happy about the current level of technology and the ability of law enforcement to apply it to help defend the freedom that I use to post this.
If you want to be really paranoid you could assume that the "anthrax mailers" are trying to move the snails to the ether. If that is true, then what is their motive or their next move?
Consider that email is, for the most part and for most people, not a secure transaction. Could it be that the infrastructure of email and electronic interchange is the next target?
Or could it be that they just want to wreak havoc in any way possible, and there is no motive other than that.
Well, let me just say that if people in Spanish speaking countries were designing/inventing all these new technological things, they could very well name them any old thing they wanted...Even something say...Spanish?
Only problem there is that the people who will BUY the blasted things are gonna be mostly AMERICANS and their whole marketing department would scream bloody murder about alienating their consumer base...Hmmm.
Death of Spanish seems almost inevitable now huh?
