From the page: ""The tendency of the state to seek ever more powers of surveillance over its citizens may be driven by protective zeal. But the notion of total security is a paranoid fantasy which would destroy everything that makes living worthwhile. We must avoid surrendering our freedom as autonomous human beings to such an ugly future. We should make judgments that are compatible with our status as free people.""


1984 proposal.

From the page: "I ALWAYS grow slightly suspicious when faced with something purporting to be "wymmyn's" television. Who are these programmers, shoving our entire sex inelegantly together in one giant holdall demographic tote, expecting us simply to smile pleasantly and accept whatever generalised lady pap they throw our way? Don't they know we are a diverse and challenging bunch, with wide and varied tastes? Probably not, unless we've got massive hooters. Anyway, if you're a lady and inclined to switch on the teev in the middle of the day, there are two oestrogen-heavy bookenders currently dominating Channel Nine's luncheonette slot - US women's own "issues-based" chat show The View, and airy variety slice Ellen. "

interesting view...

how not to be a corporate citizen, by coca-cola.

(For the record, I drink an occasional Coke, but I am not unclear as to the health issues.)

From the page: "The coincidence of the user�s name, and the sudden spurt of activity just before news broke of Mr. McCain�s choice, has raised suspicions that YoungTrigg was a campaign operative tasked to make sure that her Wikipedia article was ready for prime time, much as handlers have been assigned to do the same for the candidate.

While ethically suspect, the idea that a politician would try to shape her Wikipedia article shouldn�t come as a surprise. In modern politics, where the struggle is to �oedefine” yourself before your opponent �oedefines” you, Wikipedia has become an important part of political strategy. When news breaks, and people plug a name into a search engine to find out more, invariably Wikipedia is the first result they click through to; it is where first impressions are made."

Yep, well this is how 90% of newspaper stories are now written as well. Media Release - Edit - Post.

The singlest worst, most boring, dross of an excuse for a pathetic, lame, loser-ridden, coma-inducing, moron breeding TV show ever.

Has finally been AXED. And at least it happened on Kyle Sandilands watch. That guy has ISSUES. Kyle should be doing cornflake promotions not hosting TV shows.

So big cheer, round of applause, good bye.

What a fascinating interview with CBS news correspondent.

What a great journo...
