This blog post seems especially appropriate since today is the day the President of the United States delivers the annual State of the Union address to the American people.

This American flag, our great symbol of freedom, whipped by the wind, is inadvertently wrapped around a surveillance camera in a public park.  Personally, I think our Founders would be appalled at the idea of both public surveillance and some provisions of the Patriot Act. Since 9/11 we seem to have increasingly allowed security to impinge upon freedom. I question that strategy for the future of a free people.
