Self evident vs Self Serving
It is the 4th of July THE national holiday.
As always HiWired is open 24/7 for your computer needs.
The day really give perspective on what makes this country special. Today In my local parade I saw a Jewish Group and a Muslim group marching one in front of the other no problems no big deal. Only in America.
Because when you have a free country you get some self evident things:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
On the other hand in a country less free other things are also self evident as well:
A recent analysis of web sites pushing malware (software that helps hackers steal data) revealed that half of them are connected with just ten ISPs (Internet Service Providers), and six of those ISPs are in China. This came as no surprise, as China has become the favorite hideout for Internet criminals.There's just one catch. The Chinese Internet is highly policed by a special force of 30,000 secret police technicians. On the Chinese Internet, you don't do something the government does not want, at least not for long. So how do these criminals manage to survive on such a heavily policed portion of the Internet?
Some things are no surprise if you've been reading our stuff.
