I am still trying to sort out what to think of Mr. Snowden.  On the one hand, he seems like a hero for privacy advocates; willing to risk everything to get his message out.  Yet,  I am baffled by the level of access (and seemingly knowledge) of someone with merely a GED. Perhaps his technical skills were such that they overcame his lack of academic credentials.   Still, the kid has cojones made of steel, and I for one, and glad he did what he did.  It is about time we expose what everyone suspected.   

The video is well worth the 12 minutes.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

we must not let this become the new Normal.

It is time to revisit Professor James Duane’s potent reminder about WHY one should not cooperate with the police when questioned.    Even more relevant as we talk about the issue of self-incrimination.  Give this video a watch.

Hey Mittens…..  Its a wonderful world…  

What a tragedy, to lose such a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful people that have been so wonderful.

What happens when you take foreign policy lessons from Palin.

Nun on the Bus!  I am my sister’s keeper.  I am my brother’s keeper.  

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are correct when they say each that individual should be responsible. But their budget goes astray in not acknowledging that we are responsible not only for ourselves and our immediate family, rather our faith strongly affirms that we are all responsible for one another.I am my sister’s keeper.I am my brother’s keeper.. 

We share responsibility for creating an economy where parents with jobs earn enough to care for their families.

We all share responsibility to ensure that this vital health care reform law is properly implemented and that all Governors expand medicare coverage.So no more Margaret’s die from lack of adequate care.This is part of my pro-life stance and the right thing to do.

I urge you – join us on the bus.This is what Nuns on the bus are all about.We care for the 100% and that will secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our nation.So join us as we nuns on the bus drive for faith, family, and fairness.

– Sr. Simone Campbell,  Nun on the Bus, addressing the DNC.   9/5/2012

Wow.  And the Catholic Bishops and Pope want to silence the nuns?  The Pope needs to do some re-organizing and put the nuns in charge of the American church.

This is absolutely beautiful.   Well worth watching as a Vietnam Veteran encounters Mitt Romney about gay marriage.  The Gov was completely and totally oblivious to the fact that the Vet was sitting next to his Husband.   (In NH during the primary season, last December).  

The interview AFTER the interview is the best part.

If you’re like any self-respecting geek, you want to spend what’s left of summer indoors. And if you have 7 hours and $180 to burn, you should take on Lego’s R2-D2 kit. It’s kind of really awesome.

I want one.    It would be a perfect complement to my Ultimate Lego X-Wing.    That only had 1500 pieces, and took me far longer than 7 hours to build.

My last post reminded me of this excellent lecture by a law school prof.  Worth considering and thinking about.

Why you should NEVER cooperate with the police!   —-  They do NOT have your BEST interest at stake.   Two simple pieces of advice: 1) Demand an attorney; and 2) Keep your mouth shut.   Always.   🙂

– yes, this is 48 minutes long, but it is so worth watching.
