RE: Writing, Privacy, and the Chilling Effect of Surveillance - Is Someone Reading Your Diary?
I didn't follow Clarence Thomas very closely, so that's interesting. What did the rest of the journal show, I wonder. I guess I'll go google it. That's terrifying to know that I could make a "flirtatious remark" to somebody and the next thing I know have my journal read in court! If I ever took a public sector job we'd be headed to the burn pile for sure.
I can definitely see how a military background would definitely make one hesitate before picking up a pen.
But doesn't our military tend to have more classified documents than anybody?
Dunno. There's always the CIA. I guess that wikileaks is busy making everyone less secretive. Is it a good thing? I don't know that either.
Maybe I'm remembering the Clarence Thomas case wrong. I was sure that there was a diary involved but I can't find it anywhere on Google. Frustrating. Maybe I'm having premature Alzheimers. I wonder if I should give Doug a heads-up so it won't be so much of a shock though I suspect he won't be too surprised somehow.
You mean you can't recall all the details from an over-hyped media sensation court case from 1991?
Get thee to a head shrinker, post-haste!
I believe I can DIY it!
