Our power of choice has been stripped
22 Mar 2010No need for us to think any more. Here’s a great excerpt from a WSJ piece that underscores the issue:
“In our world of infinite wants but finite resources, there are only two ways to allocate any good or service: either through prices and the choices of millions of individuals, or through central government planning and political discretion.”
You hear me say a lot that those in control of information security have a choice in the matter…and, as Dr. Phil McGraw says, you choose the behavior you choose the consequences. So be it.
But we individuals in our own personal lives here in America are losing our ability to choose. It’s our new reality with Obamacare and, I suspect, many many other things to come. The politicians know better than the people…and it’s all our fault.
I’m going to miss the days when we were in control of ourselves…when we were free.
You probably think I’m crazy. I really don’t believe I am…I just see what has happened since the beginning and understand what all of this government control will lead us to. The decisions made this weekend will change our country deeply forever. Everyone will understand sooner or later.

Client Testimonials
“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.
His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
