# SMILE FOR THE US SECRET SERVICE. The feds want to know who you are and
what you look like. New documents reveal plans for a national photographic
database, whatever the cost to privacy. Privacy? What the hell was THAT?
http://wired.com/news/news/explode-infobeat/politics/story/21607.html
: Are you a gov't agent? Do you like to collect personal information on us?
How much info is enough? Will you control us? How much control is enough??

@ WOODSTOCK '99: A MIND CONTROL EXPERIMENT? LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash)
Woodstock '99 was actually a government mind control experiment. Secret
government operatives may have been behind the fiery riots which broke
out Sunday night at the closing of Woodstock. Engendering fear, hate:
http://www.konformist.com/rocknroll/woodstock99.htm
http://www.konformist.com/rocknroll/rocknroll.htm
: How do *you* react to mind control? Do you riot, rape, kill, fume, annoy,
masturbate, cry, zone-out? Do you become a bad role model? Are you a zombie?

# AGRICULTURE FROM AN ARMCHAIR. The farmer in the dell, the farmer's on the
cell. Tomatoes on line one, & cattle on line two. Beam me up, Farmer John:
http://wired.com/news/news/explode-infobeat/technology/story/21599.html
: Would you rather farm physically or virtually? Do you prefer agricultural
labor to be hands-on, remote-controlled, psychokinetic? Is work ennobling?

# "Will to live" fluctuates among dying patients. NEW YORK (Reuters) Among
patients with terminal cancer, the desire to keep on living fluctuates
markedly, even over short periods of time. Both physical and psychological
factors contribute to an individual patient's will to live. I want to die.
But not right now. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990907/15/health-term5
: Do you want to live or die? How can we help you decide? Are you terminal?
Were you experimented on by govt agents, aliens, mad scientists? D'ya care?

# ARS ELECTRONICA TRIES ON GENES. Artists, scientists, and scholars find
inspiration in argument as they try to define the ethics of biotechnology.
http://wired.com/news/news/explode-infobeat/culture/story/21603.html
: Are 'biotech' and 'ethics' mutually exclusive? If a genetic modification
is possible, is it inevitable? Are ethics irrelevant if you modify yourself?

# Mir drifts free - On its own, but for how long? (BBC) Mir has gone into
"free drift" mode as a new onboard computer takes over the unmanned space
station. The drift, or free flight, is needed to reduce power consumption
so Mir may survive several months, until a possible return by cosmonauts.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_440000/440916.stm
: Will you take advantage of this opportunity to steal Mir? What will you do
with it? Will you drop bombs, beam mind-control rays, crash it into Paris??

# BLACK ROCK: SAME AS IT EVER WAS. Freaks, geeks, and a week's worth of play
on the playa. A community springs from ashes and dust - Burning Man fest.
http://wired.com/news/news/explode-infobeat/culture/story/21605.html
: Have you been to the Black Rock Desert lately? [I was there 3 months ago.]
Are you awed by the spaciousness, desolation, aridity? Were you abducted? Do
you hope to be? Do you go for the high? Do you want to build a new world??
