A New Title and Statement of Principles
I've made a very small change in the title of this blog and the principles that guide my writings here.
The old subheading at the top of this page "An Explorer in Cyberspace" is long outdated. If you go back in the essays to their beginnings you will find 99% of the entries were about the marvels of Internet. Many essays were designed as guides to the use of the many tools available on line.
The Internet has changed and grown. It's still a little bit of the wild west, but it is so much more. For many of us it is our principle source of news and information. It is also an important part of our social lives.
Today most essays I write are about politics and world events. And most essays reflect my long held liberal and religious values as a Unitarian Universalist. I believe in equality of all men and women. I believe in individual freedom and cherish the extremely rare freedom of speech. I believe we need to help and protect one another, especially the weakest among us. And we should always help secure for others the rights we so cherish.
This blog is an extension of my life, it is not my entire life. I've changed the blog title and heading to more clearly reflect what I am doing here and now.

A Possible Replacement for Waterboarding
Actually, water boarding is still permitted (for now) since President Bush vetoed the bill that would have outlawed the practice.
But we can be confident that both McCain or Obama will sign such legislation in the future, so we might need a new, tested and proven method to gain information.
Could "Rick Rolling" end up being the ultimate weapon?
