Weekly Theme: Week of November 21-27, 2010

The Theme for this Week is Protection.

What does it mean to protect? What does it mean to be protected? To be safe? Governments often talk about "keeping you safe", "national security", and "public safety". And it is interesting, how the tools used to these ends often do not "feel very safe"!

My personal contention (your mileage may vary, of course), is that safety and protection must come from within. For example, there may be laws to keep everyone as safe as possible, but that won't stop you from, say, tripping over a rock and falling down on the sidewalk.

Be safe!
