  The U.S. Senate voted unaminously yesterday to suspend funding for the military's domestic spying project, "Total Information Awareness." Funding will be suspended unless and until the President certifies that TIA is necessary for national security. At least the tide has finally begun to turn (it appears) on opposition to this unconstitutional and totalitarian domestic spying scheme.

An ACLU report released on January 15 argues that a surveillance society is now a real possibility in the United States, so the Senate's vote yesterday on TIA is encouraging.

  LIVEJOURNAL.COM EXPERIMENT. I've been reading and posting to a few community web logs at livejournal.com on various topics ("antiwar", "sos_usa", "adbusting", etc.) and have seen some good and creative and relevant stuff posted in all these communities. So out of curiousity I ran some searches through livejournal's "search by member interest" interface.

number of livejournal users currently interested in "independent news": 2

number of livejournal users currently interested in "Britney Spears": 1,000+ (results truncated after the first 1,000 matches, so the number could actually far exceed this)

In any event, the march/protest yesterday was meaningful and encouraging, and I was motivated to put up another two pages of antiwar graphics, a project which I'm still working on. [1/20/2003]
