Here is an example of how individual freedoms are deteriorating around the world... how governments are trying to stifle the internet. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=4776<BR/><BR/>The problem with shutting down internet searches for Maradona's name doesn't affect me much. But, shutting down searches for crooked judges making corrupt decisions and making Argentina's courts a joke... that's dangerous. It gives people with too much power additional reason to feel like they can get away with anything they want to do.CapnRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956729224568813679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-586784612327718782009-03-30T02:13:00.000-07:002009-03-30T02:13:00.000-07:00Dear FerFAL!I'm not sure in what context you are w...Dear FerFAL!<BR/>I'm not sure in what context you are writing "2) This has never happened before, ever."<BR/>If you mean that deliberate jamming of satellite news broadcasts have never happened before, I am sorry to tell you that you are wrong.<BR/>The Turkish military forces succeeded in jamming krudish news broadcasts from the scandinavian VIASAT network back in 1997. The jamming did not effect the networks scandinavian subscribers, but it did effect reception in eastern and southern Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-20483793169360769452009-03-28T08:53:00.000-07:002009-03-28T08:53:00.000-07:00Hi Ferfal,Here's a BabelFish translation of the Sp...Hi Ferfal,<BR/><BR/>Here's a <A HREF="http://babelfish.yahoo.com/" REL="nofollow">BabelFish</A> translation of the Spanish news article:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clarin.com%2Fdiario%2F2009%2F03%2F26%2Felpais%2Fp-01884922.htm&lp=es_en&btnTrUrl=Translate" REL="nofollow">Translated article</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-43622268647278762822009-03-27T20:04:00.000-07:002009-03-27T20:04:00.000-07:00Hi Ferfal, This is your friend from Boston.

I was very surprised to see this article today.<BR/>http://www1.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO108824/<BR/><BR/>'A woman was viciously attacked Friday afternoon in broad daylight. <BR/><BR/>Police are issuing a warning to female drivers in the Middleboro area after they said a man intentionally slammed his car into another vehicle and then attacked the woman inside.'<BR/><BR/>I have lived here all my life, and I can't recall hearing of another similar incident around here. But it sounded like something I would read here on your blog.<BR/><BR/>Does this sound like something that would be seen in Argentina at all? There is not much info about this yet. But it is very surprising on the face of it. This is a very rural town where this occured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-51320304777554133162009-03-27T14:01:00.000-07:002009-03-27T14:01:00.000-07:00FerFal, do they also have a webcast?FerFal, do they also have a webcast?The last causehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392562046635863303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-4045667873269359362009-03-27T10:36:00.000-07:002009-03-27T10:36:00.000-07:00I've read your blog for several weeks, and I sit i...I've read your blog for several weeks, and I sit in my office in Dallas right now. Two people from here went to BA in the last three months. The girls had no issues, and one said that things can be bad anywhere you go in the world. She seemed a bit oblivious to things.<BR/><BR/>The guy said "everything was very safe. Well, I did get mugged the first day..."....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
