tell me ONE THING in your or my conversation on this board or any other in cyber world, including emails and blogs and faxes and phone calls and text messages and voice mail and cable channel selections and travels by car with Onstar and visa card purchases and library purchases and red light cameras and library and internet browsing habits that is PRIVATE???

I await that answer...

Big Brother is OMNIPRESENT AND OMNISCIENT.

They know PRECISELY where Osama BinLaden is at all times and he is protected so that no hot-shot takes a crack at him. American aggression needs him alive, for now.

Please don't give me that "off the grid" mess.

You have to be in the middle of Kathmandu to be off the grid...for now.

THERE IS NO PRIVACY.
