USDA Poised to Push Us Off Our Farms With the National Animal Identification System | Farm & Garden

This is government totally out of control! Actually this is BIG BIZ trying to take the last remaining group of free self relient people in the US and making them just go away.

Interesting post. And to the last paragraph:

Day of the DRM articles it looks like. This one is arguing that DRM done right will lead to more buying. Not sure where they are going as it is continued later. Worth a read.

Mardi Gras protests might have backfired

Glad to hear that the people are more interested in drunken public nudity than the church! I bet that all the preachers will be there with their cameras at the ready too. And not just tryng to expose these folks. On the whole the vast majority of preachers that I have met are a bunch of stuffed shirt, santamonious, do as I say, not as a do, pricks. Met a few that were really into it but most of them seem more interested in control and money than doing good. But that’s just my opinion.

Boing Boing: HOWTO resist warrantless searches at Best Buy

Will have to do this if I ever go to WalMart again. The search routine has pissed me off every time it has happened. I can understand their reasoning but I don’t apprecate it and really like the “Am I being detained for shoplifting?” comeback.

“When the chief, the members of his force and all elected officials in Houston agree to have cameras installed in their homes — and their own lives saved in detail for snoops to check on later — feel free to take this wannabe tinpot dictator’s admonition seriously.”

Amen, Dan!
