I believe that giving everyone the right to surveillance will not challenge those in power who have such ability.  I believe that it will legitimize them.  Furthermore, i believe that people will use the power of surveillance to maintain the status quo.  Worse, i believe that it will be used to create more hate, distrust and fear.  Sousveillance in the hands of the masses will not be used to challenge authority because most people believe in the legitimacy of that authority, whether it be corporations or the government.  Furthermore, they believe they should fear when those authorities tell them that they should fear everyone.  Even when they are not told, when the media consistently reports on all the terrible things that individual Islamic people do, they believe that they should fear all Islamic people.  Fuck Brin.  A transparent society would mean complete marginalization of already oppressed peoples in this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently, anniesj wrote an anti-Bush post on her LJ.
