California Lawmaker Comes up with Brilliant Idea – NOT
California is not known for making the best decisions, but this one I think takes the cake. (A number of news sites have covered this story. This quote comes from Digital Trends)
Joel Anderson, a San Diego Republican who’s a member of the California assembly, is a man with a mission. He wants to keep America safe by forcing companies to blur satellite images of schools, places of worship, government or medical buildings, as well as banning street images.
I can just hear the conversations now:
Evil Terrorist 1: “What is our next strike target in California?”
Evil Terrorist 2: “Haven’t you heard, they blurred all of the images of schools, churches, and governement buildings. They’ve even blocked street-view!”
Evil Terrorist 1: “Certainly NOT!”
Evil Terrorist 2: “Yes. Our plans have been foiled. Damn you California!!!”
Next thing you know California will be demanding fake images be put into Google Earth to throw terrorists off track.
Stop California! Stop hindering progress. Learn to use technology, not hate it.

I don’t know, though, I’m pretty sure making things blurry will throw everyone off track… It’s possible.
