schestowitz | :"I think they're working under the premise that everyone is guilty until proven innocent, after lengthy surveillance.......A bit like the Stasi." | Jun 21 19:16 |
schestowitz | "The thing that surprises me most about this is that everyone is surprised that the internet is being used to spy on us. After all, who invented the internet?" | Jun 21 19:16 |
schestowitz | "That's not the issue. The point is the scale of it, the fact that it is being done in a blanket manner, without any democratic safeguards or supervision. Yes, many of us figured it was going on, but now we not only know for sure, we also know the extent of it. The question is, now that we are all suspects, what do we want to do about it?" | Jun 21 19:16 |
schestowitz | "Absolutely unbelievable. And here we are supposed to be living in a democracy." | Jun 21 19:17 |

schestowitz | This is true but there is more to corporate intrusion than advertising. The more exposure to commercial TV my kids have, the more helpless they seem. The attitude of, "I'm bored, someone do something for me," is baked into the programming itself.

schestowitz | "Oh yeah, the corporate jerks are also perverting education the same way. I've seen charter schools using collective punishment but all schools are flooded with messages of fear and panic. There's a big difference between that and the message of Girl Scouts, which is a bit authoritarian much healthier." | Jun 21 19:53 |
