Sidewalk protests, Internet speech, things you only think you own, Big Brother’s demands . . .

Here are some links to make you feel good (not)

  • about police ignorance of basic civil liberties
  • information coming out about the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)  “deal”  (think who voted for it)
  • big government / corporate collusion

  • “you thought press gangs were a thing of the past”    
  • oh!  and as an added bonus, information that Google will help you avoid seeing any word that upsets you – even though doing so alters the author’s intent and original work

Great news: New Google extension switches “pro-life” to “anti-choice” 

Oh you sensitive souls, demanding protection from words you consider a micro-aggression or whatever.  Now Google says it can protect you.  Don’t like the word pro-life cuz you think differently – Google will change content you read on the Internet though written by others with their choice of words for the impact they wanted to impart, before you actually see it, to protect your sensitivities.
