Joe Biden Not a Fan of Your Privacy, Just His Own

Listen and read: “Copy Cat” – P-Funk All Stars

Never up on politics as much as I should be, I’ve always thought of  Joe Biden as “that guy who plagiarized his speeches” in the 80s. “What a jerk,” I thought. But, shame on me for letting a single incident color my judgment of the man’s long career.

Much better to let Declan McCullagh’s examination of his voting record in the twenty-odd years since then color my impressions of the man’s long career

By choosing Joe Biden as their vice presidential candidate, the Democrats have selected a politician with a mixed record on technology who has spent most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders, who ranks toward the bottom of CNET’s Technology Voters’ Guide, and whose anti-privacy legislation was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.

Ok, then. What a jerk!
