Comments: The Node is the Threat

Perhaps the idea of privacy has to be modified to make a clearer understanding that if you transmit anything in any fashion it becomes the public domain. The assumption of having a save place must be limited to thoughts only. Freedom of association ends when only the thoughts inside your head are private and nothing else. Since the concept of a home a refuge from the world is now a joke and the concept of a family follows along the same path then it is the indivisuals thoughts that are private nothing else. Limits on anyones ability to obtain information are foolish. Now if they find a way to steal the thoughts in your head we are all doomed. The notion of privacy and its actions are false and cannot be enforced by law. Cultural norms might work since the only thing that seperates us from Chimps is culture. Cultural profiling maybe the means of obtaining privacy of course one needs to test the transmitters and recievers of information and their ability to shield it from those not meeting the cultural threshold for privacy to exist. So barbarians have invaded and will not stop until you are destroyed. Maybe just maybe some more draconian measures should be taken against those caught taking something private like the cutting off of the hand.
