I don't know whether any of you like basketball but I think this is great news for other players and fans. NBA player Jason Collins came out today in Sports Illustrated. I thought you might be interested in the article he wrote

The whole article is well written, I think he makes some good points about stereotypes.

Big Brother, crime fighter
CCTV surveillance in the US is on the rise, as BBC News report. The attitude of Americans towards security systems has been slowly changing because of undeniable importance of security cameras in the fight against crime, especially taking into consideration the recent events in Boston.
CCTV systems are typical of the UK, where there is reportedly one CCTV for every 32 people. In London, the average person is caught on one of these cameras 300 times a day! This is why the opponents of CCTV claim that such measures violate the privacy of people, and thus deprive them of their civil liberties.
What do you think about these security systems? Would you agree to be "constantly" watched if it helped to lower the crime rate or would you consider it to be a big intervention in your privacy?
