Databases...
Jan. 25th, 2009 05:37 pmI'm quite capable of remaining oblivious to most Orwellian schemes our government concocts, so this database of communications shouldn't surprise me. But it does. How can such a plainly ridiculous idea seem like a good one? Does our government look at the world through warped mirrors?
Why this seems like a stupid idea.
You know, I'm really pleased for America, but I do find it a little unsettling when I'm excited about America's new president, and following sites which list the wonderful things he is doing... and I roll my eyes whenever our PM speaks. Isn't it sad, Mr Brown, that your country's people are more interested in the president of somewhere far across the ocean? When we feel that better things can come of this than what you seem to stand for?
I am relieved for my friends and family living in the US, I am grateful for what Obama has already pledged to do for Civil and Human Rights, and I'm pleased that there is hope. A part of me hopes in the name of all that is holy that he can carry through on his promises, and isn't assasinated, or worse, breaks his promises and betrays his people, but its only a small part that thinks this might happen and worries for the people placing so much hope in him. Oh yeah, and a part of me is jealous that America has a President that looks to be making good things happen and we're stuck with a government that is dissolving into 1984, and only looks to get worse.
Can we haz a golden candidate now pleez?
PS: I wasn't joking when I said I'm good at being oblivious to our government, I'm honestly mostly fairly oblivious to general politics, so yeah.
