Conversations with my Father
Well, Dad is in the hospital again. Its bad enough that my sister has flown in from Texas. (Yes, I have sisters. Its a long story) I went to see him in the hospital and bring him some reading material (Snow Crash and In Conquest Born). We got into a conversation about technology and world politics.
I said “Freedom of information and right to privacy are two things necessary for democracy to work yet seem almost diametrically opposed to each other. They shouldn’t be but they are and so many legislators are fighting where one stops and the other starts.”
Dad started to fade and get sleepy about then so I excused myself and went to work. I am rather worried about him this time, but he seems quite positive that he’s going to get through it. I hope so.
