Discussion on:

Proposed amendments to ECPA would make Orwell squirm

.... that'd find out what the wife and I were discussing for dinner, or if we were going up up the local American Legion to get smashed again or take a liver-break.

In other words, I'm no threat, I do not pose any risk, to anyone. I really do not believe that they will be 'reading' any messages from me, but scanning with that list of buzz words, or if a recipient just happens to be on some sort of watch-list.

Now, if they post mt info on 4chan or somewhere, that's a different issue.....
Besides, if they wanted my info, they'd get one way or another.

Those who have nothing to hide should be afraid.

Fake News Alert: Police are now investigating tdrane as a prime suspect in the vandalism case where the american legion was smashed up. The officer questioned stated "We only have one lead so far but we are determined to get to the bottom of this case"

I don't trust the government to interpret my personal data fairly. There is a long list of falsely imprisoned people in their track record. I don't trust them to keep my personal data private. And once they have it, I don't trust them to only use it for law enforcement purposes instead of using it to manipulate public opinion and voting.

Perhaps I should stop using gmail as my email client. Is there a good free email service outside the US?

Yea everything look through all of everyones and this means you business accounts money transfers etc as well. Privacy is not a word that means anything now. You gave it up with out knowing in thinking you had some however the electorate is the stupidest organism on earth politicians use it so hard it is difficult to estimate what kind of crap it will swallow. Oh yea there are still people looking for Obamas birth certificate Wahahaha now thats stupid. Oh yea very difficult to estimate the ultimate limit of stupidity would you have beveled anyone would swallow that crap? It is stupid and slow moving. You lost the oh what was that thing called, privacy huh? Where did it go are you sure you ever had one? Look under the desk it might have fallen off? Well there is an answer, a plan all you need to do is let you politician know (now be polite better than what I am giving you now I hope) what you think. Or I hope so anyway those politicians do want to be reelected what ever their stripe and now especially desperate to be with the tea party ready to tear the Republican party apart with sharp teeth oh so shiny bright with glib tong. Well the keyboard is persuasive be polite and use your own power of gab to light the way with something better. Its better to lead than react. I think I am in the right place with the right people who are prepared to think and act with integrity. What is lost here may never be regained but in the hopes that a spark will be seen. Protect what is good do not seek small dark things what you gain is never worth what you will loose. Do not dishonor the integrity of American spirit by evil acts under color of law be free be fearless be an American that does mean something.
