Seeing the world through Google Glass

[quote][b]jtsim[/b] - I think this is the work of some three letter top secret goverment agency that is taking over our minds. People are being robbed of their ablity to think and reason because some device does it for them. We believe everything we see or read online because we have being programed by our phones and computers. Even our cars are taking over our brains. Or it could be that cock roaches are pushing humans into extinction so they can take over.

I don't know if you are joking or not, but I totally agree with your statement.

What about privacy?

How will this affect polite society?

Will everyone turn into a spy for Big Brother?

And y'all go ahead and say that we should kill traitors, but did y'all watch "Collateral Murder"? Is it okay to kill children and laugh about it? Because Bradley didn't kill those children. He only wanted to tell the world what was happening in Iraq. So what do y'all think? Y'all still think that I was a peace officer or a law enforcement officer?

So y'all go ahead and ignore me, or call me names, or give me negative ratings, but who here will watch "Collateral Murder" and think about what Bradley Manning did? He didn't kill those children. Yet the killers are free. Think about that. Y'all scream and cry that the former Trooper, Donald Crozier, should go to prison, yet y'all don't say anything about the helicopter crew should go to prison for killing innocents, but y'all say that Bradley Manning should be executed because he leaked the video of the killings?

"Bradley Manning is going to jail for 20 years not because he did this, but because he exposed this. If you haven't seen the video, please spare the time for Bradley. He's sentenced to 20 years in a cage because of it. Can you spare 17 minutes to find out why?

If you have seen it, please take the time to watch it again in full. I watched it when it came out. Highly disturbing: The idea that somehow I'm doing this, at least enabling it with my taxes is disturbing. Worse yet is that I'm doing nothing towards stopping it. What can one do, aside from throw one's body on the gears of the machine?

He's no chicken. I hope one day I can have that kind of courage.

History chose Bradley Manning. Once upon a time, he was just like us. An anonymous nobody. There's no telling when history might choose you, too."

The video, available at www.collateralmurder.com, shows Americans shooting and killing 11 individuals who do not return fire. Two of those killed were Reuters’ employees, including 22 year old Reuters’ photojournalist Namir Noor-Eldeen and his driver, 40 year old Saeed Chmagh."--BradleyManning.org

"Love him or hate him, Bob Woodward is what we call a journalist. A real journalist.

And yes, even though they’ve always generally been liberal, they knew how important really speaking “truth to power” was."--BY DOUGLAS ERNST

Feds' loan changes hamper black college enrollment

If someone founded an all-white college, would you consider that racism?

OPINION: Maintaining historically black colleges is a racist program
http://www.madisonjournaltoday.com/archives/1027-OPINION-Maintaining-his...

"Let’s face it. Any program that is based on the color of your skin, regardless of which color you choose, is a racist program. The Black Congressional Caucus, of which President Elect Barack Obama was a member, is a racist organization. The United Negro College Fund is racist by its very title. Simply put, when you see the words Black or Negro in a title, change those words to white and see how it sounds. If it is racist when you include white, it is racist when you include the word black. And I repeat what I have said many times, a racist is a racist no matter the color of the racist. And maintaining “historically black” colleges is a racist program.
It is simply wrong for the state of Georgia to spend taxpayers money on the maintenance of segregated schools. "
--Frank Gillispie is founder of The Madison County Journal.

    Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more
