Shining Thru

What are the lines and boundaries of privacy?  What if you provide the equipment, do you have rights to know everything that happens with that equipment?  Or is there a line?  Who in their right minds, thought that the school district spying on their students through the built in webcams on the school issued laptops?

Reading the article, “School Officials Likened to ‘Peeping Toms,’” I was amazed that a group of people thought that it was a good idea to try and get a student in trouble, using illegal web images as their evidence….

Didn’t anyone think that it was a bad idea to record teenagers in their home without informing anyone or getting anyone’s permission?  Didn’t anyone consider that weird?  Would any of those school officials like to be viewed in their homes?  And know what goes on behind their closed doors?  I have a feeling that they will argue that because they were school computers they had the right to view whatever goes on around them, but I doubt that will go very far….I have to wonder how many charges and what kind of charges will be brought against this school district.

Interesting things pop up in the news from time to time, the stupidity of people continues to surprise me.

The red passion blossoming out of the bleakness

The gray, white and black, with a glimpse of color

The deep, bright red of passion and love bleeding out of the paper

The painted color that somehow brings life to the rest

The one image of color, a glimpse of passion in a world of grey

Inspiring image on the wall, a glimpse of hope and love and trust

The solid colors painted on, are able to bring your mind to life

Stir the emotions in your heart and the thoughts of your mind.

How can one image wield so much power sitting on the wall

A vision that you see every day, morning and night.

A constant reminder of a glimpse of unusual passion in a world of grey.

Gliding along the smooth surface

Nice and gentle, but restless

Peaceful and calm, yet face paced

Life and the whirlwinds of the world

Chatter and Clatter,

Spacious and Graceful

The things of life’s wordless conversations.

Images floating in the mind

Gently out into space,

A never ending dance of thoughts and flashes

Images taken in during the day

Gestures you put out to others

In dreams things play out

As the clouds of our reality are filled

Body language, sunsets, signs, and signals

All coming together for mental conversation
