Privacy and security in 2014 and beyond. You cannot have your cake and still eat it. We all love privacy but if we are at the same time asking for security, some elements of privacy must go.

Isn't it amazing how people put their entire life on Facebook and other social media, but groan when the NSA monitors their email? Anyone interested can know when you wake up; who your friends are; where and when you have your first cup of coffee; your entire itinerary day by day. You even check in to let it be known that you are now there. People with bad intentions don't even need to hack anything. They only need to follow you on social media. But we expect the law enforcement agencies to broadcast everything they do to keep us safe. Asking us to conduct our intelligence in the full glare of the public, in the name of transparency, does not make sense.

The terrorists, and everyone that stands to be at a disadvantage from efficient intelligence gathering cannot afford to sit back and watch while they are boxed into a corner and unable to carry out their nefarious activities. They fight back, but not by stating their real intentions. All they need do is pretend to be on the side of the people and claim to be fighting for the preservation of people’s rights (even though some are genuinely interested in privacy). That makes them look like saints while at the same time achieving their overall goals. For instance, who stands to benefit when phone calls and emails cannot be monitored? It is more in the interest of the bad guys that the law enforcement agencies cannot monitor these things.

It has been established over time that with unchecked power comes the tendency for abuse. Still, how are the law enforcement agencies going to be able to track bad guys? Immediately after 9/11, nearly everyone agreed on the need to do whatever it takes to bring down the terrorists. But we seem to have forgotten. Even those who were merely carrying out orders have been under fire lately for interrogation tactics; a subject that would not have come up a few days after 9/11!

Before any mass-casualty incident happens, the perpetrator would have displayed signs of the impending disaster, but no one is able to do anything about it. If they did, they would be labelled as intolerant, or suppressing the rights of the individual(s), including privacy and free speech among others. So, everyone waits until the damage is done, then they "wonder how we missed" the signs.

The bottom line is, if we really want security, we have to sacrifice some degree of privacy along the line. This quest for unbridled privacy amounts to giving the bad guys the license to commit evil first, then look for who to blame it on later.

When Priscilla met her idol she was 14 and a pupil. He started immediately an affair with her, but secretly. At 16 she moved to Memphis and at 21 married him.

Doubt is the middle ground between blind acceptance and outright refusal to believe. Doubt lends itself to a certain uncomfortable feeling of questioning but is a necessary tool to reach perceived truth and knowledge. Without doubt, one would believe anything he or she is told; it is a natural filter for the information thrust upon us. Doubt is in some ways the opposite of faith. Faith insinuates an acceptance so powerful that one does not need evidence to back up one’s claim. The lack of evidence does not bother the faithful, but it will pester the doubter like an insatiable itch. But the specter of doubt looms over the doubter, demanding that questions be asked of whatever “fact” has been presented. The doubter will use the four ways of knowing—emotion, reason, language, and sense perception—to answer the questions and become a knower. Doubt is especially necessary in two areas of knowledge: history and human sciences. When studying history, one must doubt the stories presented as facts and consider possible distortions created by biases or the passage of time.

now with out doubt.....it is me cmiyer

the killings in Paris are the result of making a mockery of other peoples religion. It is not justified to kill but it should teach us a lesson and refrain from inflammatory actions and not stretch the European rights of freedom of expression.
