In an NY Daily News column by Gail Buckley that I posted to my group earlier, she mentioned that she had called Hillary and Chuck Schumer's answering machies to implore them to vote against the Homeland Security Bill. Her call had the same result as did William Safire (and many other)'s columns -- None.
One of the main concers that most critics of the announced security efforts has been the "Information Awareness Office" headed by Iran Contra figure Adm. John Poindexter. Since objections and opinion columns have done no good, I suggest an on-going non-difficult form of protest and notification -- the addition to e-mail signatures of "NOYFB, P", a new anacroym for "None of your business, Pointdexter." "When you come to the fork in the road, take it" - L.P. Berra "Always make new mistakes" -- Esther Dyson "Be precise in the use of words and expect precision from others" - Pierre Abelard "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" -- Arthur C. Clarke John F.
