PH was better during Martial Law?

Do not crucify the son for the sins of the father.

But when the son aligns himself with head of states like Iran's Achmadenajad and Japan's Shinzō Abe, we move forward and leave the son along the dust bins of history.

Achmadenajad publicly denies that the Holocaust happened while Abe proclaims that the comfort women and killings in the Philippines were mere propaganda concocted by enemies of Japan.

Bongbong Marcos has from time to time did the same thing about Martial Law. He cannot deny it now because of lot of people who were present at that time are still here but from time to time, he would try to justify it. The Philippines was better under Martial law? Is that why a US court  ordered that money from the Marcos estate be distributed to some 10,000 victims of human rights abuses under the Marcos watch?

Bongbong, if you are like your father, you probably deserve to be forgotten like that Iranian and Japanese mentioned above.

Privacy Vs. Peace & Order and National Security

At the Philippine Daily Inquirer today, one headline says:

"Cops may tap Skype conversations, e-mails under new cybercrime law"

It says that under the recently signed "Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012", it only requires a court order, cops may be able to tap into everyone's online activities.

I believe that in instances where privacy gets into conflict with crime prevention and protection of national security, the individual has to take a back seat. However, the danger of this law being abused by people out to harm others remain very high. At the Manila Police District for instance, a radio reports that a good number of cases are filed against cops every month. 

I therefore propose that a special court be created specifically to handle cyber crime. That way, only a select few will be able to decide this matters. People will also be able to closely scrutinize their decisions.

Rock N' Roll!!

I didn’t know that rock stars, most specifically drummers, had roc n soc throne height adjustment problem. All I knew is that they had a small wooden stool and an expensive drum set in a small space where they beat the drums in heavy metal rhythms and get paid a lot.

Oh yeah, there’s the groupies too! Little do I know that there is a lot of science that goes with rock music.
