You are missing the point here.. At what level do they raise the bar,
to when it does finally impact you, and by that point, it is too late
for you to "Turn it back", because they've created a monster that's out
of control?
For example, this is exactly why gun owners in this country oppose all
gun laws. Because the "Encroachment" doctrine is very sneaky, and it is
always how they do it.. Pass one law.. Then slowly, pass another. As
people become desensitized, work in another one. Before you know it,
people are turning in their weapons.. But then again, that's what
happens in the UK, and too many people over there are still asleep to
even notice it, or do anything about it.
Then there is the issue of who do you "Trust" with your open book of
your life? A stalker? A govt. child molester? A govt employee that is
also into identify theft and fraud? Whos the watchers over the watchers
themselves? I'm afraid that it is going to be too late for you by the
time you realize this, but thankfully, in this country much of this
seems to be falling flat.
I love how the martial law machine in my own city is being dismembered,
and they're desperately trying to salvage it. The police department was
heavily militarized a few years ago, now their tanks and special body
armors are rotting in storage units. 30 cops are being laid off over the
next few weeks, and they are furious over this. We even have the police
leadership trying to use fear on the public, saying "We can't guarantee
you will be safe if you lay any of us off!".. Funny, crime rate is
dropping 10-20% per year in this area, we don't really need them much
anymore, and certainly don't need any bootstrappers with machineguns and
tanks. Now the fire department is shedding their ambulance force. Guess
not enough people are getting sick, not as many accidents anymore.
They're sitting around washing trucks all day long and watching Sponge
Bob. A few years ago when I started this project, there were ambulance
sirens every hour around here, now I can go weeks without hearing one.
That's how the cookie crumbles..
Funny what people can do once they decide to do something. Gifting is
empowerment of the powers of good, and disempowerment of the forces of
oppression. Whether or not they are inside police departments, or
outside of them, they're disabled or sent packing.
Oh damn, let's seriously move this to OT.. Won't comment anymore on CS
list regarding this.

you don't want 'them' to see! dee

In my line of work, and my wifes, privacy is essential. If you check my email
headers, you'll find them blank. If you find my IP, it's not mine, it is
mutated every few weeks to a different one (Millions of potentials), at a
different geographical location. My connection is a 2048-Bit Encrypted tunnel
and the key is re-keyed every few weeks. If you google search this email
address you will find 3 link, and 2 of them are from Mikes Archives. In 6
months I won't have the same email address, it will be out of some tropical
island or some such overseas server.
These are all prudent precautions. Why make it easy for anyone?
