It wasn't really Nixon, it was J. Edgar Hoover and Senator McCarthy that really spied on the people of America. And that is what the real worry should be for the American public. This argument about "if you done nothing wrong you should have nothing to hide..."is an empty argument in my opinion. What will future governments do with this information. Could you imagine what it would be like if either of these people were alive today and all the access to information they would have. What it would mean for the people of the US. It would be a damn nightmare is what it would be... disclaimer I'm Canadian and our government is becoming no better than the Americans, heck it's seems our two governments are sharing the same bed when it comes to spying on its citizens.

I met Pete Mander 2 years ago when I went with my brother to pick up his Pinhead costume he ordered from Pete for Halloween. I was absolutely amazed at the work he does, Pete makes/sells costumes to anyone that is interested. It doesn't matter if you are in the movie industry or just interested in having a kick ass costume for Halloween (if you have the money that is). Pete also sells costumes from the movies Aliens, Predator, Master chief (Halo) costumes. Here http://petemanderfx.com/ is his old website where you can see some of his previous works. This guy is trying to make a living and to say Pete has way too much free time on his hands and wastes his money really does him a disservice. In the last week this video has made it to the front page of digg and now slashdot I hope from all this publicity some FX house from Hollywood or somewhere else sees this and contracts him for some work. Great Job Pete!!!

I think that if insurance companies go this route, to make it more acceptable to the public at large, it should be more along the lines of a Black box for that of a Jet. with all the sensors cheaply available it could be easily done. The video would be from a wide angle camera front and rear, it would capture either a 5min or 10min of video that loops, it would show the speed and direction I was heading. And all data would be stored in the trunk in a crash proof box. It helps out the insurance agency and police to determine the cause of the crash/incident and protects my privacy. Only time the information would be accessed is in the event of the crash/incident/break-in. And the only way to access the information would be a data port that is only accessible after breaking a tamper proof seal. Simple and acceptable to me. As for the Coaching from a insurance company, Piss Off!!! Next thing you'll know they'll want camera's in your kitchen to make sure your eating healthy to keep your health insurance premiums low. Before you know it your being coached by Jenny Craig on better eating habits at the behest of your insurance company...that's just FUBAR .

Mary Jane can have the effect of putting you "In the Zone". It effects a small percentage of pot smokers, but the effects are the same as a athlete that is "In The Zone". There was a small study on the this a while back. Think it was during the Winter Olymics in Nagano, when the snowboarder Ross Rebagliati was found to have traces of it in his blood. This study came out shortly after on some news network.
