I love the Law of Unintended Consequences.  For example, the more that the United States government’s members make a big deal out of Edward Snowden, the more the underground movement strengthens and grows.  I can only hope, wish, beg and plead the U.S. Congress or any of the agencies of the executive branch to formalise their opposition to Snowden’s/Manning’s whistleblowing — they and they alone will be responsible for the Next Great Thing in the news, will they not?

Observe a planet from the perspective of the universe and you know what’s going to happen next.

History is a great teacher, even the history of the future, including the infinite varieties that never happen exactly the way we hoped they’d turn out.

It’s hard to spy on a network that doesn’t subscribe to the officially-snooped pathways that the NSA and their ilk use.

Tune in to your local news channel and see for yourself!

Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?  Think I’ll go for a swim in a meltwater Arctic lake and cool off.
