A short post before I have to go to work. While I was going through the top news stories I found this article a page or two in.

Reading this made me ill. First off take a guess who's paying for those books the Pentagon just destroyed. You and me. We had the unfortunate pleasure of buying ten thousand books and we didn't even get to see them.
I hope that the author releases the first edition online so the people that paid for the books can actually read it. Forget national security; the Pentagon, the Army and the Department of Defense, they're trying to cover their asses.
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.

"Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc." We gladly feast on those who would subdue us
Hello again. This post has been a long time coming. I haven't had the time required to swift through the news and pick a few stories I think are important because I started school again in August and I recently moved. I also have two jobs and no days off. I still intend on keeping this sight going so check back every once in a while for updates.
First on the list is this computer worm going after Iran. Here's the link to the article.

And now my thoughts..
First off, if this thing has hit the United States why weren't we told? Why is the news filled with stories on Lindsay Lohan instead of stories of a complex computer worm capable of infiltrating our industrial power plants? Who gives a shit if Miss Lohan is out of jail (this was the top U.S. story today on Yahoo news). Tell us the important stuff.
UPDATE: I found another article on this.

I am going to go out on a limb here and speculate that this hacker isn't in or has anything to do with Iraq.
On to the next article. I'm writing this in math class (which will be starting soon) so I have to keep this short and sweet. Apparently the FBI is now going to U.S. citizen's homes looking for terrorists.

The first sentence contradicts itself completely. "Warrants suggest agents were looking for connections between local anti-war activists and terrorist groups in Colombia and the Middle East." ..seriously? The whole anti-war activist thing kind of puts a damper on the terrorist bit. It seems to me that this is a scare tactic. Simple as that. There is no reason for these people's homes to be searched like they were. They did nothing wrong.
This next article I only have one thing to say about it.

On to the next article!

.."criminal deportations".. O_o; um.. he was illegally in our country so we deported him. I don't know the process we, as a country are using to take these people back to their countries of origin, and I have sympathy for the family of the man that was killed, but the people affected seem to think everything would be fine if he wasn't deported. This man seems to be unstable and he would have killed anywhere. I am aware this sounds incredibly harsh, but their family member died and this killer was caught (again). This murder could force the U.S. and other countries it deports people to, to set up some sort of system for the transfer of criminals.
I have to end this now.. class is starting. I'll try to touch this up later. I apologize for the horrid writing, I'm running on little sleep and I am incredibly hungry.
