If you live in the US and are worried about surveillance, now you have to be wary of firefighters, who are being trained by Homeland Security to report people who express discontent with the government. This is particularly frightening because firefighters can enter your property without a warrant (not that warrants are stopping surveillance in other ways).

Elsewhere, a recent speech from Pope Benedict states: “It is no accident that [atheism] has led to the greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice.” And here I was thinking that it was the opposite.
