Economist Debates Security V Privacy

The Economist emails:

Our second series of three debates kicks off today and the first proposition raises important questions about civil rights and the trade-off between Privacy vs. Security. As a blogger and member of the community that The Economist aims to serve with this lively debate, we wanted to extend an invitation to you and the readers of Emergent Chaos to join the debate by blogging or commenting to the debate floor. (No subscription is necessary).

The debate: “Proposition: Security in the modern age cannot be established without some erosion of individual privacy.

Have at Mr. Livingstone, arguing for the side of order and no emergent chaos, or, if you must, Mr. Barr, on the side of truth, justice, and the American way.

    I am going to have to agree with Barr on this one. However, I am going to have to disagree with him on citing Ayn Rand in a serious discussion.
