A groundswell of political activism for this week ending the 31/10/10: Twitter grass-roots activism is often a farce, US says human genes should not be patentable, the new Predator drone is scary stuff, Google's analysis of the US mid-term elections hints at a future where political elections are monitored in real-time and outcomes predicted with worrying accuracy, thoughts on grass-roots activism online, including the recent Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear, and the Singularity topic - we discuss possible political landscapes and forces in the coming years.
Please post your thoughts in the comments, or in the Singularity Subreddit.
