Good article about Your Civil Liberties vs. the War on Terrorism
Great article this weekend by Dan Gillmor of the Mercury News. Thanks to Jason Kottke for posting an excerpt on his weblog.
My favorite quote.
But the damage we will do to ourselves if we allow our liberty to disappear is incalculable. An entrepreneurial society can't exist if political freedom disappears, and if Big Brothers, public and private, are invading our daily existence with impunity.
I hope that we clue in to the long term risks posed by most of the legislation passed to 'improve communications' between security agencies to 'improve our safety'.
You have to wonder what the framers would be doing right about now.
