Too Much Information

Luis Acosta writes \”If you haven\’t already received too much information about \”Total Information Awareness,\” Hendrik Hertzberg has a very good \”Talk of the Town\” piece in the New Yorker, in which he notes Philip K. Dick\’s anticipation of the coming dystopia. \”

He\’s got a good quote from trial judge, Harold H. Greene, on Poindexter:

\”that those elected by and responsible to the people shall make the important policy decisions, and that their decisions may not be nullified by appointed officials who happen to be in positions that give them the ability to operate programs prohibited by law.\”
