Brainstorming
The Problem (government action) |
Possible Solution |
---|---|
Lists of "enemies", "suspects", "undesirables", etc. | Everyone should write in and ask to be added to the list. Come up with as many justifications as possible. |
Warrantless wiretapping | Although this seems a threat on the surface, equal transparency ultimately benefits everyone – so let's help it out by recording all of our phone calls, encoding them in MP3 or OGG format, and sending them at regular intervals (via CD or email; whichever works) to the appropriate government office – and make a point of using the words "terror" and "bomb" a lot, discussing fictional plans to destroy various landmarks and so forth. Make sure free speech stays free by testing it regularly rather than depending on security by obscurity. |
