Thank you very much Free World Leaders for that intelligent discourse on marijuana. What would we do without you? We love being your lemmings. Keep beating the Drums so we can march into your ocean of insanity. "Zero Tolerance" is an extremely dangerous attitude to have regarding crime. Zero Tolerance by definition means excessive vigilancy. # "War on Drugs Runs Up Against the 4th Amendment" # By Tony Mauro, USA Today # # J. LeWayne Kelly went to the Austin, Texas, airport two months ago. # # But because he's black, dressed casually and wore expensive cowboy boots, # he soon was surrounded by strangers---police who suspected him of being # a drug courier. # # Mr. Kelly had gone to the airport only TO PICK UP A FRIEND. # # He felt numb, agreed to be searched because he didn't want to get beaten. # # Kelly tried an experiment. He had a white friend WEAR THE SAME OUTFIT he # had worn that day and retrace his steps at the airport. # # Police gave the friend not even a glance. # # His lawyer filed a class-action suit in a Texas state court. # # "The Supreme Court has hobbled the Fourth Amendment so much that I # never even thought about filing in Federal court."

The feedback was not simply machine throughput rates, but also---via the central computer---a system 'through which anyone could consult anyone else'. I used keyword monitoring to filter "information" from "noise" in Salomon's HUGE email traffic. What I did, of course, was small potatoes; what Stafford Beer did was a serious cybernetic attempt to control an entire nation's economy. In order for him to do that, he needed to set up a (cybernetic) monitoring infrastructure. The nation's banks, factories and industrial companies. It would have given Allende maximum control over the nations industrial infrastructure, real-time monitoring of everything. Everything had a computer monitoring it. * "The Future of War - Power, Technology, and American World Dominance in * the 21st Century", by George & Meredith Friedman, 1996, ISBN 0-517-70403-X * * McNamara's revolution built on an idea that was central to operations * research and propounded by many nuclear strategists, that war was not * methodologically distinguishable from economics. The process whereby you * analyzed, managed, and controlled an economy was not essentially different * from the way you managed a war, except that one was an economy of produc- * tion and the other was an economy of force. The principal underlying both * was the doctrine of efficiency: maximizing the benefits received from the * efforts and expenditures---a cost benefit analysis. Cyberneticians hope to use their capabilities for the betterment of the human race, of which they are a part. They are not naive when it comes to the government and politics, either. * "The Rise of the Computer State", David Burnham, 1984 * * Norbert Wiener, the MIT professor who is generally credited with being * one of the principal minds behind the development of the computer, * refused to take research money from the Pentagon because he was * convinced it would corrupt his research and unde |
