Tell the Maryland General Assembly: Ban fracking now

ashcomp — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:15:31 GMT

Fracking is headed to Maryland. The only way to stop it is to ban it.

Maryland has a de facto moratorium on fracking, but it could be lifted
anytime. Meanwhile, the industry is signing gas leases and state
regulators are reviewing permit applications. Maryland won't be safe until
it has a permanent ban on this toxic practice.

Tell the Maryland General Assembly: Ban fracking now. Click the link below
to view the petition.

You might have to think about it for, oh, 3 seconds or so. http://dorothy1901.dreamwidth.org/90480.html This entry was originally posted at http://ashcomp.dreamwidth.org/23684.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

Anonymous? Where are you?

ashcomp — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 01:14:58 GMT

There have been a number of major intelligence leaks in the last year or two, mostly aimed against the interests of the United States. This is presumably great sport for the parties involved. Much notoriety, and very little downside risk, except for one US serviceman and the fellow most likely responsible for the publication of his document cache.

But there are much more useful subjects for this sort of scrutiny and internet publication. Hopefully some of the very bright people who have been engaging in the publication of intelligence can be interested in taking on some new challenges. Just consider Syria, for one. Here are some possibilities:

Where does Mr. Assad sleep at night? Where is he at this moment? GPS coordinates would be highly desirable.

A personnel roster of the Presidential Guard could be useful. Their home addresses? Their credit information?

A personnel roster of the "militia" known as shabiha could be useful. Their home addresses? Their credit information?

These people all get to go home to their wives and children every night. Hardly seems fair, eh? It's a fair bet that all of this information is on computers connected to the internet. Why not--everything else is. It's almost certainly all in Arabic. So, what--you expected it to be easy?

Try doing something constructive with your talents for a change. This entry was originally posted at http://ashcomp.dreamwidth.org/23030.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

A Real Meh! Day

Another of the more sane Republicans loses a primary. North Caroliina votes fear and loathing into the state Constitution. Al Quaida is still trying to blow up airplanes, and the media feel obliged to tell the world how we found out. If I hadn't lived through the Nixon and Bush presidencies, I'd really like to see an Official Secrets Act in this country.
