http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com

"Manoj Bhargava, founder of '5-Hour Energy' and the wealthiest Indian in the US, doesn't believe in governments and formal education. Ask him about his biggest challenge and Bhargava says, "The biggest challenge is always the governments - they try to stop all good things. I try to stay away from them as much as I can, as I know if someone can destroy something good, it's the government!" He says he abides by Mark Twain's quote: "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education." He says 90% of what he earns will go into doing charity in India.

New regulations from Department of Agriculture require that Americans that own four or more “breedable” female pets that are at least four months old must obtain a federal license and be subject to federal inspections, regardless of whether or not the owner is planning on breeding any of their pets. Animal rescue shelters fear that they may also suffer, as penalties could amount to $10,000 per day per animal.

Thomas Jefferson used encryption to protect against government snoops

http://lfb.org

...In 1785, a resolution authorized the secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs to open and inspect any mail that related to the safety and interests of the United States. The ensuing inspections caused prominent men, like George Washington, to complain of mail tampering. According to various historians, it also led James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe to correspond in code. That is, they encrypted their letters to preserve the privacy of their political discussions.

Film highlights the perils of blind obedience to authority

http://www.guardian.co.uk

The temptation to submit to authority examined by "Compliance" bolsters an authoritarian culture by transforming its leading institutions into servants of power rather than checks on it. But worse, it conceals the presence of oppression by ensuring that most citizens, choosing to follow and obey authority, do not personally experience oppression and thus do not believe – refuse to believe – that it really exists.

Brown gave him a three-month sentence on one of the convictions, saying, ‘‘I don’t ­accept the state’s reasoning,’’ but he did not elaborate.
