Google Hummus
We should all google hummus three times daily so that we get flagged by the government for suspicious activity. (I know, I know, hummus is a docile chickpea dip, Hamas is the militant anti-Israeli group). I have a hard time with the government wanting access to google's search records. One million random search terms and web addresses for any specified week in 2005...why? I know I've googled some pretty suspicious stuff over the past year just out of curiosity. If I don't know what something is, I google it. If I'm curious about Hamas, I google it and visit wikipedia. So all curious minds are going to be flagged? Sounds like the new McCarthyism. I suppose curiosity breeds questions, and questions are dangerous in society today. Does it really hurt for us to get more information about certain topics? If we have a so-called "enemy" shouldn't I be able to learn more about what they are all about? I suppose not. Are terrorists going to be sitting around googling terrorism? Probably not, although I'm sure they could google how to make improvised explosives or where to get the nearest cup of starbucks coffee.
I know this is a knitting blog, but this has been bugging me.
