Around the world, both within counries and internationally, rule of law is increasingly rejected. Democracy and the UN are unable to handle the problems they face.

I conjecture this is because of national and international plutocractic control that makes democracy fail as an instrument for the people to get anything that the plutocrats don't approve.

Fossil fuel companies are spending heavily to oppose Colorado ballot initiatives to limit fracking, and plutocratic Democrats are helping the companies.

The "sunbathing partly undressed woman" argument against drone cameras is convenient, but omits the most important part of the danger flyingcameras pose to all of us.

Nonflying cameras on the street pose much of the same danger, except the part about being partly undressed (except if the camera can be directed to look in your window, which is the case for some of them).

Europe is rushing the design of an "anti-terrorism" directive, using a process that will run secretly until it is too late for the public to influence anything.

Bahnhof, a Swedish ISP that resists the War on Sharing, reports that 27% of state demands for subscribers' identities are for that purpose.

That is more than any other purpose.
