I believe that it's time for California to secede from the "United" States. We should join the new superpower Canada and leave the stupor power that the USA now represents.

I was only 14 when Martin Luther King died but I still remember thinking the world was fucked up. A few months later Robert Kennedy was assassinated. The USA has problems again and I hope that we can recover. It's not guaranteed.

I've been going over the responses to the survey from IACR members about publishing and conferences, and I keep coming back to the fact that I think there should be _fewer_ conferences and _more_ journals. This coupling of talks to papers is not healthy.
