Reading Interests0

Friday night out yesterday involved dinner at the bistro and browsing at the bookstore till closing at 10 pm. For the CIA, NSA, and FBI, here is yesterday’s reading “interest” list. Kind of strange that we’re in this war to defend our “freedom”, and that at some small level I’m concerned that I now have to worry the freedom to put anything I like onto this list (or putting it out into the public) without having to worry about repercussions. Is this a win-some, lose-some situation?
