The Solution Is Not Direct Democracy - Iceland

I am getting ready to go to bed; but, I read this article and thought I should post. The article is from "The South African Civil Society Information Service", I don't the organization and don't know their beliefs so I am not promoting them; but, the article seems pretty good, I just disagree with their conclusions.

Why Iceland Should Be in the News, But Is Not

Lets see, end the Federal Reserve and go to direct democracy to regain your freedom and economies. The big cookie in exchange for direct democracy, hmmmm, sounds like selling out to me. Pay your debts, get rid of the crooks, don't vote your pocketbook, vote for integrity and the answers will come.

I used to tell my ex, if it is free, I don't want it, if I want it, I will pay for it. I do not wish to be controlled by the cookies and lose my soul, I would rather lose the cookies and keep my self determination being based on more that a punishment reward system, I wish my choices to be determine by my self-definition. Peace.

Hawaii and More Loss of Privacy

I have been to Hawaii twice, loved it. I have been to Oahu and the big island, I even walked over the cold lava to watch the hot lava go through the tunnels and into the sea, it is one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. I have a deep appreciation for the Polynesians and have since I was very young, unfortunately, we stole their islands from them.

So this article is not about Hawaii or it's people, it is a disturbing article about how the people of that state may lose their privacy. Some legislators in Hawaii are promoting legislation that would require internet providers to track every site that they visit and save the information for two years. Please go back and read what I have been writing about for three years (though I think only two years of my blog still exist because I deleted the first two versions of this blog) and you will see this is exactly what I said would occur. Your internet history is going to be part of your permanent record. Here is the article.

CNET - Hawaii may keep track of all Web sites visited

This my friends is infrastructure, it is planning and it is not planning for the end of the world, it is planning for the end of privacy. Peace.
