Hypocritical,

Thank you for your comment. Of course my blogs are subjective, in that they are based on my experiences. Even when I speak of scientific matters, the objectivity is assumed to be of limited scope.

I may not explicitly state this, but hopefully it will be understood since I do not claim god’s words as my own; or claim myself inherently superior. I do believe many of my views are more valid than others, of course; but I recognize that itself is a value judgment based on very limited experience.

Discourse requires subjectivity acknowledging itself as such, rather than as something more. I recommend the following post: http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/objective-vs-subjective-a-matter-of-biblical-hyperbole/

Comment on Blakeslee Family Genealogy by Fallon

It is amazing to know where your roots come from.

I showed the Blakeslee family history to my dad before he passed away, then my grandpa read it after him and they both said that my aunt (fwife to my uncle on my dad’s side of the family), who was from the Saunders family are related to the Ford family. Corey said it was through marriage, but still I thought that was neat, really makes you think it’s a small world after all. lol

Comment on Oprah pwned by Anonymous by calvinlawson

You have an excellent point; the hypocrisy Anon exposes has far wider implications than the attention-getting tactics that give them a bad name.

There is no comparison between someone illegally accessing an email vs. someone dodging FOIA requirements using that same email. the former is a matter of personal privacy invasion, the later is a violation of a very important government safeguard.

Besides, If you want to look at the worse invaders of privacy, it’s the Bush Regime anyway, NOT Anon. And don’t get me started on mainstream news.

Thanks for commenting…

It’s interesting to see someone finally get what Anonymous is. I do not like the massive amounts of media attention Anon is receiving, but I do find it interesting how inaccurate almost all the articles and stories are. It’s very disturbing, not just as an Anon, but to anyone who cares at all about society. People like Bill O’Reilly with his “far-left internet hate group” and Oprah with her “known pedophile network” apparently think it’s okay to make things up. These people are supposed to be a type of journalist, they are supposed to be accurate. Instead, they do not even try to understand what they are talking about. This is unacceptable.

The failures of the media have also been highlighted by the Sarah Palin email thing. The fact that they keep calling it a hack and don’t bother to explain that all that happened was a security question was guessed it disturbing enough. What’s worse is that they simply do not mention that Anonymous uncovered proof that Palin was using a private email account for government business in an attempt to skirt FOIA laws. That is a much bigger story than the “hack itself.

The over 9000 penises thing, the raids and /i/nvasions of various forums and message boards are funny and not too significant, but whenever Anonymous, 4chan or /b/ receives any mainstream media coverage, it always highlights things that should be very very disturbing to everyone, even those who barely know how to turn a computer on.
