Surveillance and terrorism

Earl and I are having an interesting exchange on his blog following recent publicity about new British proposals. In my most recent contribution to that I referenced a quote from my earlier blog on fighting satan. I may summarize the material here later, but for the moment the exchange itself is interesting, while the material is both disturbing and paradoxical.

Thanks for the pointer dave.

Can I just add to it by saying that the things that are MOST worth thimnking and talking about are disturning and paradoxical.

Reminds me of NZ poet Hone Tuwhare who referred to art as like a sheet of corrugated iron being blown away by a storm.

To see it flying is astonishing and challenges your ability to grasp what is going on, and it is dangerous, if you aren't careful it can take your head off.

Good conversation is an art, and it take take your head off.
