This article on the Panopticon Singularity is relayed from [livejournal.com profile] janetmiles, who first brought it to my attention.  It should be required reading both for those who Understand The Problem, to borrow a phrase from Col. Jeff Cooper, and for those who persist in the innocent belief that government exists for their benefit.  (Word to the wise:  In this age of information and technology, governments are frightened, and governments that are frightened but still have power to do something about it with are the greatest enemies of freedom that exist or ever have existed.)

(I also strongly recommend his articles on why no more Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors will ever be built, why DejaNews should be considered harmful, and censorship and the 'Net.)
