New Technology takes away our privacy to our own genitals for the sake of "Stopping the Terrorists" No way.

Okay, this technology, although really cool from a technical point, is extremely scary from a Constitutional standpoint.

When you can see genitalia from a technology then it's too much.

I don't care about thwarting terrorists if it means I have to show my business.

The company making this scary piece of equipment says that there's zero storage of images and it's viewed at a remote location.

SO WHAT!? Look at the detail.

My mantra about the shifting nature of our rights (primarily away from our best interest) is this: Just because we can do something doesn't make it alright.

I can buy a gun and shoot someone in the face, but that doesn't make it okay. Similarly, this x-ray technology is not okay.

It won't be long before someone would offer to sell nude pictures of celebrities and politicians from this technology, despite all the safeguards.

Hell no!.

Drug War is morally bankrupt and fiscally irresponsible. No longer defensible.

Here's a very well-written and well reasoned article about the damage caused by the Drug War.

The article's point is that innocent people are dying and we are losing our Constitutional rights in the name of fighting some War against our own citizens.

We are seriously off track and the fiscal damage this causes is immeasurable.

The story of the 80 year old man who was shot by police when he tried to get undercover officers acting like drug dealers to leave his property makes my blood boil. If anyone other than the police did something like this, they'd be charged with murder.

Making it worse was the governor of Florida saying it was practically necessary that the old man die to fight drugs.

That's insane. We have lost our way and we are in danger of losing every right our forefathers fought to give us if we continue on this path to making America a police state.

The Drug War is un-American because it guts our freedoms. The Drug War is fiscally irresponsible because of the direct cost to the treasury. The Drug War undermines our economic productivity when we incarcerate so many and make them dependents on the public rather than contributors..

This madness must stop. Getting high is not worse than killing innocents and taking away our rights.

Legalization is the lesser of two evils now.
