Is there a bug on me or a microphone?

It's extremely late and for some reason I had this interesting inclination to blog about the issue of privacy. After watching The Conversation in class, our professor reminded us that the movie was released near the Watergate scandal. The movie was about the issue of surveillance. Which leads me to think, "is it really for the sake of our safety?"

Obviously, the issue of homeland security is in continuous debate and the ethnics behind it..but at some point, there is a definite pro and con. How important is our privacy? Even those whom choose to remain reclusive often still find themselves at the feet of unprotected privacy. Is there a limit to how much privacy we can have? Today, our media consists of daily reports of mundane routines of celebrities. Do we really need to know they bought that? Of course not, but we choose to know. What about the government? Is there limitation to what they can release to the country? And if homeland security exists or is by some chance is released, does the government fall under those circumstances as well? Remember the scene in the Dark Knight when they show the sonar system. Insane. Our media is sent to us with certain guidelines and our perception is warped. Sure, not all of us believe it, but the reality is, most of our country does.

There's an episode of Family Guy when Lois works for Fox. Fox is notoriously known for having affiliations with the Republican party and being an overall conservative network. Family Guy goes to show that perception is definitely biased no matter what media is used.

What would happen if the country knew everything the government will do or is doing? ...I think we'd be in some deep shit.

it's late, forgive me if this grammatically and tremendously incorrect. grammar is my enemy.

FIN.
