Robotic Nation Evidence

Hi Marshall
You and viewers may be interested in the article "you are losing your privacy fast", found here

I think it goes to the point and well as pose some interesting questions for all...
Best regards

Personally, I like the safety it affords me. Your rights leave off where the other person's begin. The more people in the world the fewer individual rights we are going to have. The more people we have the more crazy people we are going to have, the more protection we are going to need. What we are being protected against is the question. If the wrong people get into power and misuse the things that are suppose to protect us then we have trouble. I like the protection however and don't want to give it up just on its potential to be misused. One man's slippery slope is another man's learning curve.
 

Next up...

Affinity group tracking: systems that follow your location and who you congregate with, talk to on the phone, e-mail, and other people you MIGHT have similar interests in. Sounds like either a dating service or a terrorist tracking network.
 

Obviously, what we need to do, is: Track politicians mercilessly, and watch their every move.

After all: What do they have to hide, while they serve us?
 

The government you thought you wanted became the government you feared the most.
 

The Greeks (who invented democracy) recognized that its 'debating society' attributes were suited more to peace than to war -- during times of war or other threat to the common weal , they elected a "tyrant" (check original (Greek) definition) to serve, with special powers, until either the end of the elected term or the cessation of warfare (think Franklin Delano Roosevelt). - blzbob
 

Hey Marshall!!!

How's about cleaning the ads off this blog!?! Apparently the 'word verification' ploy doesn't work against the flesh-and-blood(?) clowns.
 

I saw a quote on cryptogon.com that I thought summed this up quite nicely:

From, They Thought They Were Free, by Miltion Mayer:

“Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle... one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.”
 

Yeah, it's called the IRS... But we've gotten used to it ;)
 

Nice how this has become a hotspot for Libertarian commentary! Count me in!
 

So I guess Marshall only posts one or two headlines a month here now?

Maybe he's getting more hits on his "How to make a million dollars" blog.
 

Dammit, the spammers are back...

Dive! Dive!
 

Marshall should move Robotic Nation to a Digg.com format. There have been so many relevant news stories (not the least of which: today Aibo was put down by Sony) in the past month that Marshall simply hasn't got the time to cover. Open up for story submissions, man!
 

F***ing spammers!
