Public Citizen On "Internet Anonymity"

Is there a "First Amendment right to speak anonymously on the Internet" or anywhere else for that matter? I tend to agree with Public Citizen and EFF that there is and should be a right to anonymity, but that's not the right question. The question is how to identify and stop terrorists who are abusing not only that right but more fundamentally, my right to my life.

It's really a question of what causes the most damage by potentially somewhat limiting our rights, the FBI or terrorists. My right to move freely and feel safe has been severely damaged by terrorists. I see the benefit in giving law enforcement the latitude to seek terrorists that might hide behind the mask of anonymity. It's a tradeoff and a solution, albiet not a perfect one. What I don't see from EFF and Public Citizen is an alternative solution.

Review: Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson My rating: 5 of 5 stars Having read only snippets and never a complete biography of Leonardo da Vinci before, I have no basis of comparison from which to judge the accuracy of Isaacson's beautifully written account of Leonardo's life. Assuming it's accurate, Isaacson's account leaves no doubt that; the man was a true genius, he led a fascinating life much of which was enabled by being born near the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe and he was fortunate to have been associated with so many other brilliant characters. The only minor issue I had with the book was not always being able to tell exactly what the current scholarly research consensus is about the many mysteries of Leonardo's life versus Isaacson's opinion. The book is well worth reading. View all my reviews

I thought President Obama's inaugural speech was a little disappointing when read for substance from afar, although I can imagine that it might have seemed more uplifting in person. I think the Wall Street Journal got it right in their pre -inaugural " The Opacity of Hope " editorial as they concluded: "The complicated nature of our world means that every modern Presidency is to some extent a leap into the unknown. Mr. Obama's meteoric rise makes him a bigger leap than most. We don't know if he is a genuine man of the left, or a more traditional pragmatist. The audacity of our hope is that as President he will use his considerable talents to return his party to the policies of growth, opportunity and the vigorous defense of U.S. interests that marked it the last time the country had such great expectations for a Democratic President -- under JFK." To me, Obama didn't start well with his first official act being this rather vague and plainly accusa...
