Privacy Matters!

We say something about what government do would hinder privacy and people would often put their finger to us. They would ignore the issue completely. Their standard argument, "if we are a good citizen, we should not be afraid." Well, we should! When Government do surveillance program, there is no counter nor audit. The program usually in secrecy and it's not under any provision. We would never know when something in the system go rogue until it's too late. Who in charge of the system? When a party with agenda got her hand on it, how can we know when it is used against the constitution? When Government do censorship, on what basic ground would the Government screens? What is the mechanism of appealing? Can people take an appeal without having public shaming? Vimeo still get blocked in Indonesia.

That third hero that was forgotten. (Peter Norman)

That 3rd Person in the background of history. Harvey Dent from the Nolan's Batman trilogy said, "...you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." But, a third hero in 1968 Mexico Olympic made a statement that there was a third option: "or, becomes a forgotten hero."   It's not a compelling option for our ego. But, religions like Christianity offer martyrdom for such cause. There is a "greater than life" purpose. To spread Good News (Gospel) and freedom. Peter Norman is one of the model for what a Christian should gives. Salute!
