I'm a techie & attorney.

Been on the net a long time.

I have a Norbert Wiener Award for Social and Professional Responsibility, and I've been a Fellow of Law and Technology at CalTech & Loyola/Marymount Law.

And yes, I am that person who was elected to the ICANN Board of Directors and who ended up suing them to see the financials (I won, hands down.)

Few Americans know what happened 75 years ago today in the small town of Peekskill, NY. The KKK and anti-communists teamed up to try to silence a folk concert fundraiser for the Civil Rights movement.
It marked a significant turning point in the post-World War II era, raised the stakes in the coming anti-communist Red Scare, and showed how the destructive power of hatred can gain legitimacy in a time of political turmoil.

@TheConversationUS @histodons Don't forget that September 15 is the anniversary of "Birmingham Sunday". On that date in 1963 the KKK bombed a church and killed four children. (Richard Farina wrote a very good song about it.)

@TheConversationUS @histodons In addition to the bombings in your article there were other explosive events that changed the US.

One such is the famed case of Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co where where a dropped package of explosive material (perhaps fireworks, perhaps something stronger) went off, ultimately resulting in a legal opinion that had substantial impact on our civil legal system.

California had several bombings that had long term impacts - one was the bombing of the Los Angeles Times, others were the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in the Owens Valley.

I would add that to my mind the most terrifying, and fortunately fictional, bombing was the one depicted in the1983 Emmy winning, but rarely seen since, "Special Bulletin". (It is well worth the 100 minutes to watch it.)
