I Want To Write
Posted by isecore on May 16th, 2008
… but I don’t really know about what. A lot of things I need/want to write about are pretty local in tone, at least as far as the global community goes. Most of it is Sweden-related.
For example, I’m still completely aghast that the minister of justice here in this country apparently thinks bribery and corruption is an acceptable and completely tolerable policy. At least if the briber is wealthy enough to pay off real big.
The story behind this is the same one that has been causing reality to distort for quite a while now. The police officer Jim Keyser, who got a well-paid job at the global mediamaffia, caused some stir a few weeks (months?) back. Beatrice Ask, the swedish minister of Justice, basically said that she approved of it, and said it was nice that the “competence” among swedish police-officers is at a level that it allows them to use it for their own personal gain. This is the same minister who wants to allow the mediamaffia to completely undhindered pursue filesharers and also wants to introduce complete data-retention in order to spy on her own voters.
Completely crazy. The only real conclusion I can draw from her insane statements is that she’s as corrupted as everyone else involved in this ludicrous pursuit.
Another thing that is causing frustration in my head is religion. I’ve been meaning to write something about why I find religion so crazy and backwards. The trick though is to manage to do it with a somewhat maintained level of grammatical and vocabular style. As it stands, my thoughts on religion are usually peppered with some very rude curses. I really don’t give two hoots if I offend some bibletoting fundamentalist wackjob out there, but I don’t want to stoop to their level either.
And finally, I’m still working on my pro-FOSS posting. It’s been on ice for a while, but I might thaw it out tonight and have another go at writing about FOSS, why I like it, why I want to promote it, why I think more people need to leave proprietary software behind and the direct as well as long-time advantages it will have for every human on this planet!
Yes, I can be quite pompous. Whatever.
