My gut instinct is to call Senator Al Franken a well-meaning fool when it comes to his latest outcry -- this time against the advent of facial-recognition software -- but he actually has a point.
For the record, I have nothing against Sen. Franken (D-MN). In fact, I rather respect him. But any time I see a politician all up in arms about the problems some new-fangled technology is going to cause his simpleton, Luddite constituents, I get defensive.
