I wish a sincere, open-minded dialogue could take place in America without the current polorization that prevents any meaningful dialogue on this issue. It is more than a tad embarrassing when America's human/civil rights actions/inactions are being discussed at the United Nations (UN) level.

I have always been a little concerned with what Google does with all of the information it surely has collected about me (though I cannot think of anything I wouldn't want my mother to see--a very high standard in my case), but I was very excited to read the steps, listed in this article, for removing one's private information from the all-consuming Google machine.

“It turns out that if there are current magazines around, people steal them.Jerks.Within a month, 41 magazines—almost half—had been taken. To make sure staff didn't take any magazines, they were told that doing so would invoke "the death penalty," for which Arroll would seek retrospective approval from an ethics committee.Current magazines (less than two months old) were taken more than older magazines. Of the 47 magazines in that category, 60 percent disappeared, while only 29 percent of older magazines disappeared. But it turns out some magazines are stolen even more frequently than current ones. What the researchers termed "gossipy" magazines, which they didn't name but defined as having at least five celebrities on the cover (with 10 celebrities, they earned the term "most gossipy"), were stolen most of all. Patients took 26 of the 27 "gossipy" and "most gossipy" magazines. They also took National Geographic, BBC History, and the Australian Women's Weekly, just less frequently. No one stole any of the four Time magazines or 15 Economist issues.”
