The Prairie Progressive blog often has some interesting links even if it seems buried a bit deeper in bookishness than I might prefer. The wonders of diversity in the blog world. Unlike SDSU where they advertised "You can go anywhere from here.".. and South Dakota students left South Dakota in droves, with blogs, you can be anybody or write about nearly anything. From the very archane to the instantly irrelevant, the blog format can do it for nearly anyone who can write or type...even if they must use Dragon Naturally Speaking (a commercial Link) to do it.
Enough of that. Here is a link indicating the FBI is convinced that paying cash for coffee is a terrorism indicator. Apparently cash customers only pay with cash to avoid having their purchases tracked. That is interesting for two reasons. It is a crazy assumption to begin with, but even scarier in implying that every other kind of purchase is being tracked by the Government.
Feed Your Paranoia...Fear cash payments
This shares elements of the absurdity that pisza sales should be tracked because the 9-11 madmen terrorists ate a lot of pizza. Your taxes at work on things so silly they would not even make a science fiction movie or video game..or maybe that is where the FBI gets their ideas. They sure did not take the South Dakota Pot Plane of a few years ago seriously enough however and that was reality right in front of their red, white, and blue noses.
And another for South Dakotans and others interested in the history of this place and past times in digital format.
South Dakota Digital Archives.
So, enjoy the work and results of Prairie Progressive in his search for better books and better links.
)))) Stay tuned even if I am still frustrated by the aggravation of mediocre instructions for mediocre designs in TV wall mounts..more on that some day--- Doug Wiken
