In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

Despite success creating magnificent supercomputers in Oak Ridge, the NSA realized they could not decode strong encryption in real time. Two responses followed:
1- They are creating an archive in Utah to duplicate ALL traffic on the internet for deciphering selectively at their measure.
2- Work to modify the infrastructure to allow real time manipulation in case of emergency.
Problem is that they are collecting your emails (all of them) and only admit to "interception" when they go back and read them. All without political discussion of the propriety of this policy.
