Today is “Dark Future Day”. Its scaring me. Check the news: As you probably know, everybody within the European Union has every use of a telecomincation device (mobile, computer) safed and made accessible by the government. Not the content of your conversion, but date, time, length, sender, receiver. Also logged: Every station your mobile phone registered with. That’s scary allready, but no longer a news. New is:

Cory is right. Osama bin Laden wins the fight agains Freedom. And we voted those who help him into power. I wonder if he can stop laughing at us?

    What can I say, Holy Shit? :)

    BTW, freakin’ scary. Even Philip K. Dick never had such nightmares like this.

    Dagenhams last blog post..Nine Inch Nails – Ghosts
