The Gun Culture in USA
B S Prakash writes about the prevalent concept which seems to be that "guns are a right and a necessity" in the US. If the the majority of the Americans are right, why is the overwhelmingly much larger majority outside of the US wrong about the need to bear arms ? {Interestingly : If "Democracy" means that decision of the majority of the people is to be observed, then surely USA is an anachronism within the world's citizenry ?}

Will Google Decide What We Should Do Today/Tomorrow ?
Steven Feurstein muses about Google's supposed goal : "The goal is to enable Google users to be able to ask the question such as ‘What shall I do tomorrow?’ and ‘What job shall I take?’". It does sound terrifying, I agree with Feurstein. I know that I have to login to google to update my blogspot blog. But I do see that it seems to keep track of my web searches.
Where will google go with all the information it is gathering -- news, discussions, books, videos, emails, user searches ?
