About face: FBI rolls out facial identification system - U.s. - Catholic Online

Humm... I wonder what George Orwell would say about this latest 'advancement' in police surveillance technologies? Bad enough that we now have unmanned drones flying overhead spying on us without our knowing, but marry that with this facial recognition software and compilation of a huge database and we may have a great deal to be concerned about.

All these issues of privacy and threat of persecution among the daily digital clippings that come to my computer. It's enough to make one wonder if I'm becoming paranoid! But as the old saying goes, 'just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not watching you'. (grin) I figure though, that so long as I can still see the humor in that question whenever it comes to mind, I'm still standing on solid ground.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
