"The U.S. system of government has a basic unwritten rule: The government should be granted only limited power, and for limited purposes, because of the certainty that government power will be abused." -- Bruce Schneier, CTO of Counterpane Internet Security, "Fingerprinting Visitors Won't Offer Security", Newsday.com, 2004-01-14.

There are just so many things one can say about this quote and today's government that I can't really say any of them. But I'm sure you were thinking of them when you put this in the Quote queue, anyway....

Yah. And I suspect the person who said it was thinking them too.

*sigh*

(Wait, resignation doesn't fix anything. I need to get back to anger ... After I've rested.)

Anger and hatred can cause ppl to do dumb things in the heat of the moment. I don't think we have the luxury to hate the Bushies this time around.

I would love to read the article, as I've been arguing the very same thing, but the link gives me a blank page on newsday.com.

Drat. It's probably one of those sites that only makes the most recent couple of issues available for free and/or changes the URL when it archives an old article. :-(

But this trick -- showing the banner and navigation and border cruft and no article, instead of a 404 page -- is one I hadn't seen before.

A little exploring reveals that "premium members" of the site get access to a whopping 30 days worth of archives. WTF? I'm going to have to either start avoiding such ephemeral sites or remember to make local copies. *sigh*

It's a very sucky policy, indeed.

I'm reminded of the main character's musing on the patchy state of the early information on the net in... Architects of Emortality, I think.

Try here, Bruce Schneier's own Crypto-Gram Newsletter of January 15, 2004. (It's the first sentence of the last paragraph of the section.)
