This is L.A. exactly how i like it : too wide, too polluted, too hot. It is a bitch, the one working in a dark smoky bar, not a magazine model but you can't help staring at her. You know it is a dangerous game but you want her. You feel, deep under your skin that everything is possible in her arms, from the worst to the best.

"Bad advice for a buck" on the sidewalk of Venice Beach. His bad advice 4 a buck was "to seat on my shoes and piss in a glass" and as i gave him more than only 1$ I had a free other bad advice : "rob a bank with policemen waiting on the parking". Really nice guy.

Raw personal data collection is great for future !

A point of view from the future. Raw personal data collection is great for the past seen from the future. Yeah, i mean. Well. Huh. Let's first Watch again Robert Zemeckis film "back to the future".

We have always thought that CIA and/or NSA was spying us. We all an always have been aware of that, even if it was an indefinable feeling. Now we are sure.

Because of common sense, movies, novels, newspapers, we all know that any secret service whether powerful nor insignificant, from Israeli MOSSAD to Iran VEVAK or Taiwanese NSB and my home country French DGSE, any of those services can spy a “specific person” anywhere on earth if they “want to”.

But the new game is to collect “raw data on everyone”, just “in case of”.

Thanks Mr Snowden, we now sure that NSA is pretty good at this game, but who else is collecting raw data on me, my relatives, my baker or my dentist?

Are the Bahamas secret services collecting raw data from phone calls to emails from people all over the world?

No matter.

- What “no matter” ?

Yes : no matter. This affects me “ethically” such as when a politic is grabbing money in the city bank account. But in our real life this do not affect us directly.

What is interesting about raw data is what to do of that in the future ?

KEEP IT!

Oh, oh?!??

This starts to be interesting. For the historians from the future.

Imagine if we had nowadays “real historical records” of conversations between king George III and his councilors on a side, and conversations of George Washington and John Adams on the other side?

Imagine if we had records of personal conversations between Cleopatra and Cesar!

I can imagine how excited would be PhD historians from Harvard, Yale or Princeton!

So I just hope for the future, when we will all be dead, may be in the next 80 or 500 years, that NSA (and the other ones) will declassify all those files.

For the benefit of our gran-gran-gran-children.

Colin

PS : to fight efficiently against terrorism, i think that nothing is better than good old "field work".
