I encourage Tennesseans to watch a weekly program on the proceedings of the Tennessee General Assembly that is produced in Nashville, with good commentary and lots of live footage of committee meetings.Memphis-area viewers can catch it on WKNO-TV at 11:30 every Sunday morning. (I set my DVR to record it, but you can get an email reminder about the show from the WKNO website from this page.)And

UPDATE: I have moved this April 5, 2007, post back up to the top because of its continued timeliness. I have also added at the end a quotation from and link to a very relevant Tennessee Attorney General's opinion.I heard that a traveling Tennessee State Senator recently told a meeting here in Memphis that nothing could be done about Ophelia Ford missing most of the legislative session.

This video speaks beautifully and eloquently for itself. Watch it and ask yourself what has happened to your political "thinking" these days.

From the Dallas Morning News, January 23, 2008:Dr. Paul said his efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade aren't at odds with his libertarian philosophies."I honor and respect the notion that our homes are our castles, and I don't want the government in our homes," he said."That does not say that the parents of children in a home have the right to kill their children."Evidently, Ron Paul has more respect

Facebook has been coming in for a fair bit of stick recently. But writing in The Guardian's G2 supplement on Monday, Tom Hodgkinson advanced a case for the prosecution that transcends the usual complaints about privacy and walled gardens.

Hodgkinson outlined a grand conspiracy theory which posits Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as neo-con puppet in chief, and his string-pulling fellow board members as hawkish ideologues, hell-bent on pursuing a warped, capitalist-libertarian utopia.

Bizarre but fascinating stuff. And an awkward reminder for principled Diginatives that the tech world ain't as apolitical as they might like to believe.

Another case in point: Intel's (allegedly) despicable behaviour as partner - now former partner - in Nicholas Negroponte's laudable OLPC scheme. Whether the claims of duplicitous dealings are true or not, it's sad to see a technology firm's involvement in a charitable venture descend into self-interested, tragi-comic farce.

These two stories convey a simple truth: in the era of uber-transparency, the corporations behind and beside our favourite technologies will be held to account like never before. That can only be a good thing, I think, for what use is tech if it doesn't make the world a better place?

Any individual or group seeking to obstruct that goal for selfish ends will fully deserve their flaming in the blogosphere's cauldron of free speech - a self-righting mechanism we Diginatives should hold dear.

Let's not even get started on Google and their 'don't be evil' mantra...

I delayed writing about this until I checked Tennessee's lawyer ethics rules to see if I could criticize a judicial decision to this degree. What I got out of my research is that -- as long as I do not cast aspersions on the judges' personal characters -- I am not prohibited from posting something like this.In case you haven't noticed, there is a legislator phenomenon I characterize as piling on
