Matthew's Journal

Today, I found girl/robot, and read the archives. Very funny, in a Totally Wrong sort of way. Also at grcomic.

Thank you for your comments on my previous entry on the subject.

I would like to clarify my position - I'm not saying we should do nothing to stop terrorists. I'm saying we need to think a little more carefully about what the actual damage terrorism is doing is, and whether that justifies undermining society by taking away civil liberties.

This article has some very interesting things to say on the recent "home-made-exploding-liquids" plot, although I can't personally comment on the chemistry therein. I do wonder whether it's actually possible to prevent sufficiently clever and determind suicide attackers.
