Xerox's TIA 'Privacy Appliance' is Anything But

"Work is under way at Xerox Corp.'s PARC that should be vehemently opposed by IT leaders." ...

"Project Genisys—part of the federal government's Total Information Awareness program—is developing a 'privacy appliance.' In this case, the name is Orwellian double talk worthy of '1984.' "

"The Project Genisys privacy appliance is designed to facilitate 'fishing expeditions,' defined in part by Black's Law Dictionary as an overly broad use of the discovery process during an action. In this case, the so-called privacy appliance is an even more egregious infringement of privacy rights because search results are in response to concocted scenarios, not to specific legal actions."

"A federal judge has thrown out a $3 million judgment against Kmart for selling a gun that a schizophrenic man used to commit suicide, ruling that jury deliberations in the case were tainted."

"A juror's knowledge about a similar case against the retailer and his coy remarks about it to other jury members put Kmart in an unfair position, U.S. District Judge Ted Stewart ruled. His decision sends the negligence lawsuit by the family of Ryan Tait Eslinger of Park City back to court for a new trial."

"The case of 174 feral Chihuahuas on death row in a L.A. animal shelter has pitted animal rescue groups against each other." ...

"Bunten, president of Chihuahua Rescue & Transport, said the dogs were too threatening to be adopted by 'regular Joe families.' "

"Peck also criticized Bunten's group: 'They are despicable. They are Hitlers. They won't take dogs unless they are perfect.' "

Could it have something to do with the safety of the families who adopt these dogs? Why is the welfare of animals more important than the welfare of human beings? Is this another PETA?

"Mr. President, it is no secret that the District of Columbia, our great Nation's Capital, suffers from the most startling violent crime rates in the country. It has the highest, the absolute highest, murder rate per capita in the country. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and despite the most stringent gun control laws in the country, in 8 out of the 9 years between 1994 and 2002, Washington, DC had the highest murder rate in the country. In fact, the results are in for 2002, and unfortunately they continue to paint a grim picture. Mr. President, the District of Columbia has again reclaimed its rather unenviable title as the 'Murder Capital of the United States'. "

"It is time, Mr. President, to restore the rights of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and to defend their families against murderous predators." ....

A New American Civil War - West Vs. East?

"The liberal main stream media will be putting out about as much false and misleading information as they can. You see the truth doesn't matter to them if they can get the emotional response they want. An example would be the attack on so called assault weapons by CNN. There was nothing in that report that was even remotely close to the truth. The whole thing was set up to make the people on the line panic for no good reason at all. How many times will they shoot movies or documentaries about the school shooting at Columbine. We have lived through that crime and most everyone understands that two young males took it upon themselves to shoot up their school. That's right, they did it, and no weapon they used had any responsibility for doing it. The fact was they broke the law to get the weapons and no laws would have prevented them from this act. So demonizing the gun and saying that it could be controlled and would have stopped this attack is like saying that we as humans don't need food to live because some are obese."

"Behind the grandiose title -- 'Three Centuries of Tradition: The Renaissance of Custom Sporting Arms in America' -- lurks a gun show, pure and simple. The guns date from the 1660s to today, and were custom-made for clients ranging from French royalty to contemporary collectors. Recent decades have seen a renewed interest in custom-made guns that's similar to the handicraft revival permeating everything from musical instruments and furniture to clothing and jewelry."

"If you want to get into a spirited debate in this country today, address the topic of guns. This is definitely a controversial issue with no easy solution. [The solution is easy, but this pseudo-journalistic coward doesn't want to deal with it."] Let's face it; guns kill. [They do? And here we thought "smart" guns weren't invented yet.] People who don't own a gun fear them. [That's because pseudo-journalistic cowards like you insist on spreading sub-moronic ooze such as "guns kill."] We have seen too many movies that glorify killing with guns. [Who forces you to see these movies?] Death by shooting provides for a lasting memory, and if we have had the experience of losing a loved one or a friend by the use of a gun, it is a haunting and terrible memory. [As opposed to losing them to a drunk driver?] A gun becomes an evil weapon. [Animism at its best]"

FULL STORY BELOW:

A former Midland City Police Chief has been convicted of selling stolen firearms. 54-year old Jimmy S- Metcalf was found guilty Wednesday of eight counts in Montgomery federal court.

Metcalf was suspended without pay in February by the mayor and City Council pending the outcome of a federal investigation. Former and current Midland City Police officers testified at Metcalf's trial that the weapons he sold were stolen from the department's property room. The weapons had been seized by Midland Police between 1999 and 2001.

Metcalf sold the weapons to several pawn and gun shops in Dothan, Newton and Ozark. Metcalf had served as police chief since 1997. He took over when his predecessor, Virgil Dobbs, was killed in an auto accident. Metcalf will be sentenced in September.
