The Rusted Musket

I’ve been sitting back, mildly assessing the stupid sums of money being spent on arguably the most worthless things in the 21st century, political ads. Let us have 95% less salty dog political ads in exchange for 95% more shoulder angel charity. If only Michael Jackson were alive, I’m sure he’d be leading a telethon asking candidates to donate 95% of their commercial monies toward soup kitchens, Scott’s Tots, and rescue missions.

Sadly, I am much more “virtuous” when talking about Michael Jackson and other peoples money than my own…

Looks like more basic freedoms are being infringed on in the UK. Basically the government wants to put a law into place that will allow them to monitor all internet, email traffic and telephone conversations, in the name of fighting terrorism.

There is a disturbing trend among governments to add more invasive “security” measures all in the name of national security. For instance, airports adding the full body scanners, completely disregarding privacy concerns and the potential health risks from the radiation dose you get. The scanners are totally unnecessary. Airport security right now is very good and there hasn’t been any hijacked or terrorist acts for years (other than a few “scares”). So why add more?

Don’t let your hard earned freedom be taken away so easily. Refuse to submit to full body scans and campaign against this invasive UK law.

Nothing deep here but doesn’t the new GAP logo look like something off a software suite, like from Cisco Systems or something? The old GAP logo was cool like Apple’s, the new logo is not cool, like Window’s…
