In the Salon...

The gentleman that is responsible for cleaning above our ceilings finally did show. So my day here at work is not a total bust.

While waiting for the software load script to complete, I was perusing Salon...

Feds subpoena anti-war protesters.

This is not surprising at all.

It's a never ending battle that will never be perfectly won, I think, but I think this country needs to reevaluate its priorities. Some humans are self-destructive, and that's the way it is.

But you know, this country really should make sure that its society is well educated. We would innovate more, and then our folks can choose to be ignorant, as opposed to being ignorant by default.

I'm not sure what I need to do to contribute to this society yet. I'm not sure what organization I trust. So I'm embarking on research on that stance. I'm also doing research on issues that vex me, but I want to make sure I've got valid data to support where I stand. I've been working for a fortune 500 company for over 10 years now, and in talking to other business folks, I see a disturbing trend, things don't make sense to me from my viewpoint. Problems like Enron and MCI only serve to reinforce my view that Corporations have been given too much "freedom" and are abusing it. I think folks like Paul Krugman and Noam Chomsky have some very interesting things to say on the economic and moral issues in our country. And when I say morals, I mean there should be some basic code of respect, and letting people do what they need to do, so long as they don't harm any other independent human being.

Anyway, I could talk for hours on this...but I must now work. :-)
