Okay, I'll join a citizens' privacy watch group. Just don't ask me to live in my basement with 1,000 cans of canned food and 500 1 gallon jugs of bottled water, and cut myself off from society,or something akin to it. Because I like my regular life, too: Movies, popcorn, a good laugh, dancing, and a decent restaurant. Easy does it on the education via ultra-paranoia, because in my public relations opinion, you can't get joiners if the cause ain't no fun. Give 'em a box of cookies, or promise 'em a good chance to flog you or something, w/every letter someone promises to write for "the cause", if you head a citizens' privacy watch group (and yes, I am kidding. Kinda sorta.) And I do see your point. I really really do. Lots of interestng information you did share, and you obviously care a lot, and know something about this cause. I hafta go to bed. But I am sure someone will read and discuss this interesting thread. Take care. I do believe in the cause for privacy concern you are discussing. But I just am not sure the government has the manpower or competence to monitor the average citizen on the micro-level, much less act on what ever pittance of info they might find there. That the Federal government could possibly meander and finagle their way to being able to do it because nobody's watching is perhaps cause for concern. But - as far as I can tell the choices are: Write your Fed reps, and join a citizen's privacy watch group, and wait until Bush is gone for good, from office. - Susan
