U.S. News & World Report; By David LaGesse

This short article I read explained how Google said that they were improving on their security and would be making the Internet safer, but really nothing they were doing would be helping much at all. Google would still have information about its users and be able to monitor searches.
In class, we were asked to propose a new Amendment that entitled us to our privacy, yet still balanced the needs of society. After writing my own and incorporating others' ideas, I ended up with:
It is the right of all U.S. citizens to maintain privacy in their home, possessions, and documents. There will be no search or investigation upon anyone without evidence or overwhelming suspicion of a crime committed by that person.I realized just how difficult it is to write a law with no loopholes that still fits the needs of the people and the government. I think that if this law were to go through the process of judicial review, it would basically be rewritten. Obviously, I am not a lawmaker and I don't know how to create laws, but I do think that the Amendment promising our privacy should be revisited and altered. When it was written well over 200 years ago, there was never any thought that our country would be as it is today. Not that all of these advancements are bad, just the fact that they are so different from how times were when these laws were written. Back then, e-mail was unheard of and a message being sent instantly around the world was probably a crazy idea. But that's the way it is now, so you would think that would call for a refinement of our privacy laws.

Your writing is amazing, I love how you go separate your ideas, use advanced words and bring the reader into the writing but using questions and making them think, its just like reading an article on the New York Times.
I really like the layout. the way you put the information down was good because you start with the problem, the would is coming to a point where privacy is hard. then you say how the people who it affects are to blame for at least a little. in general i like the was the blog was layed out
