Dang. What now? A topic almost everyone agrees on. Kind of tempts me to take the contrary position just to be ornery, y’know?

Gummint gets all the info on us. “No problem … it’s for our own good.”

But we don’t get no info.

Right on, Musing (1).

Sigh, I expect you’re all correct.

Well, the dog biscuits are kept to the right of the sink . . .

And perhaps a valuable public service, as well.

You could create such a thing and market it in your retirement…what a fun, quirky sense of humor!

Some old nautical maps would indicate: Here be monsters to indicate where dragons and other fearsome creatures of the deep might lurk.

Perhaps Google Maps should overlay this phrase on their maps.

Arcadia,

You ask some excellent questions. They are worth addressing. I hope some of those who actually can do something about these things are asking the same questions.

I never agree with Musing…except this time.

I think this is in the same category as the whole national Internet filter thing too.

There are MANY things that we can potentially limit in order to be more secure, but we also then lose a great deal of freedom in the process.

With freedom comes responsibility, so some self-policing by Google is warranted in obvious instances, but Google has the right to create its maps.
