It Can't Happen Here

.......at Babi-Yar, a ravine near Kiev in Ukraine, German security units assisted by local volunteers worked day and night until 33,771 captive Jews had been "processed" in this largest of such special actions. It took two days of nonstop killing. Eventually about 100,000 others — POWs and various civilian hostages—were also stripped, murdered and interred at Babi Yar.

Let's be clear, outrages like Babi-Yar are not happening here. And yes, invoking this event is farfetched and could be construed as diminishing that unspeakable tragedy. But consider Babi-Yar as a cautionary tale, that violating the innocent with impunity is a line that, once crossed, knows no other bounds. We as a people have stayed far away from that line for all of our history and rightly condemned peoples that didn't. Until now.

How To Maximize Facebook Privacy

"Facebook's 10 most popular applications are among those transmitting users' IDs to outside advertisers, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The report also highlights the ongoing problem of the 'app gap' -- Facebook users who don't use applications are still at risk of having their personal information shared with third parties if they're Facebook "friends" with people who do.

Best way to prevent Facebook applications from sharing your personal information with behavior-tracking advertisers? Don't play FarmVille or whatever. Don't take that quiz. If you've done it in the past, well, your stuff is probably out there. But it's not too late to lock down your profile from future share-happy apps. You can ditch 'em completely, tweak them individually."

No Law Enforcement

"I am a Christian, husband and father. I am a former 10 year active Army veteran and three year National Guardsman in Louisiana. My military background is helicopter crew chief, CID (the Army's equivalent of the FBI) and then an Armor officer in the National Guard. After leaving the Guard I became a Louisiana State Patrol (LSP) trooper. I have since left the state police. It is my experience as a state trooper that I wish to write about."
