How to read.

I just read a report on CNN.com about what people are searching for. The last paragraph was particularly worrisome, not only because of the subject matter, but also because this guy knew what people were searching for. I mean, how hard is it to obtain not only the nature of people's searches, but also the IP address from which those searches originated? The government already taps our phones illegally; why not crack down on people who search for information They don't want us to have?

If I could organize people, I'd set up "search days", where tens of thousands of people search for particular disturbing things a few times on that day. Example: "How to start a revolution" Day. Also, more abstract and post-modern searches: "The ballistic damage of the common stream trout" Day. Thoughts?
