A somebody, cares

I have made mention before that threatening a whistle blower was bad but maybe I didn't explain.  Snowden is a whistle blower.  He plainly saw that people in charge were abusing their power.  

People not accused of a crime were being surveilled.  And even though surveillance is an everyday occurrence at the NSA, that data accumulated is always valuable to SOMEBODY.   Who is somebody?

A somebody is the opposite of a nobody.  OH you GET IT now.  

Remember in Hollywood Cop where Harrison Ford is banging the Bruce Greenwood's ex-wife and there he is having Ford arrested all because of surveillance done PURELY for the cause of tripping him up.  

What was especially funny was seeing Harrison hump the glass wall as a repudiation. 

But that's an example of a WHOLE BUNCH of people doing surveillance and (chin-chin, let's have a toast) having the higher ups do a bunch of trades, while we all lower types have jobs to do and do NONE of the trading or even know that whole LIVES are being lost as we speak.   

You should watch Wreck it-Ralph.  If not for the charming display of charisma Sarah Silverman puts into the leading character, then at least to get the message that it lends.

At the start she is a glitch.  A character meant to be an avatar of a game but one that has turned faulty.  After several run-ins with authority, Ralph gets told that she must be captured and taken away because people will stop wanting to play video games because of her glitch.  

Sound logic.  Sacrifice works.  

The disturbing truth, as it becomes apparent, is that the original glitch was caused by someone in charge, a leader.  That Sarah (I forgot the character's name) was infected with one of the glitches BECAUSE of the leader's antics.  The leader in fact became leader because of HIS glitch.  

We later find Ralph and Sarah making the leader own up to his OWN glitch, which suggests that if we want to have a more "attractive" society without glitches, perhaps our glitchy leaders should be the FIRST ones in the bowl.  

And this theme was resounded again today in the news about this guy Mr. Cuban, an NBA owner that mentioned on an interview that if he was scared, he was going to walk away from what scared him.  Only problem was, his words were "black guy in a hoodie" which is racist.   

Being scared of people is not racist but being scared of Oprah ... that's another thing ENTIRELY, right Jenn? 

But that doesn't mean oh hey there goes another glitch/racist let's throw him overboard because our video game needs to be TOP NOTCH to attract players.  And last night on CNN, I was glad they talked it out and BLACK people were acting their age and not immediately calling everything racist.  

ps. VA? what's the VA? That ain't news.
