California legislator seeks to limit photos on Google Maps
ACRAMENTO — California has a new idea for thwarting terrorism: Attackers might not hit what they can’t see.
Assemblyman Joel Anderson is pushing to ban online mapping services from publishing clear photos of key buildings used by the public — but fuzzy images would be fine.
“All I’m asking is that they reduce the level of detail,” he said. “They can either smear it or back (the camera) off.”
America’s enemies benefit from detailed aerial, satellite and street-view images of schools, churches, hospitals and government buildings, Anderson contends.
Terrorists have push-button access to minute details of the buildings’ exits, windows, facades, access routes – even rooftop vents, he said.
The Alpine Republican points to news reports that terrorists who attacked various locations in Mumbai, India, last year used digital maps and other high-technology equipment.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
