Rediscover Communication

I am a lazy, lazy man. I have been sick this last week. Kind of a Cold/flu concoction that made me feel as though I was underwater. There was a delay effect with everyones speech... They would say something, and it would take me time to process what they said and actually get the meaning out of it. It was like a poor connection on a long-distance phone call. People must have thought I was on drugs or something. I coul't get anything done. But I am beginning to feel better. On several fronts. I have been trying lately to hang onto good feelings longer. My natural personality is fairly melancholy, and that isn't too bad, but I have been trying just to feel good again. It has been working somewhat. Contentment is an elusive, but worthy goal.
I asked before, but it may have gotten lost in one of those posts that never quite made it to publication in the blog... where does everyone work? I currently have no steady job outside of school. I have reached the conclusion that a steady job and school are mutually exclusive events.
The thought police article was frightening. The real fright comes from the interconnected databases that would allow information like his (the being blacklisted from United) to spread to other airlines and even to finding a job, applying for a loan, getting picked up for speeding, etc. There is a large debate in philosophy about privacy, but like nearly all debates, it is moot because there is no real privacy anymore anyway. Even in the deepest darkest depths of the bush in AK, a satellite or a spy plane is watching. The chineese are listening to us. WE are listening to us. A webcam is watching me. It is strange...
