Even though I was a day late, I guess it’s never too late to protect your data. It’s like a New Year’s Resolution for your privacy. Somebody get the word out!

Look at even the basic stuff that has leaked out so far on the secret room AT&T gave the NSA in San Francisco and you see a wide ranging abuse of power. I’m perfectly okay with the government being able to review my phone calls and records, I just want the executive branch to be reviewed by the judicial and have validation that the work they did was warranted. They have been violating our constitutional rights, that’s the point.

Oh well, as you said, I’ll never convince someone like you, so why am I bothering.

Sure, who wants to be nagged by marketing groups. So we all would like to be left alone free of marketing programs.

But to place such emphasis on a “freedom of privacy” as you allude to government intervention into your personal life is just hot air.

If you have nothing to hide, then what’s the problem. As long as your constitutional right is not being violated (and a amateur blog isn’t going to vett this discussion), then why so much hot air on the topic.

It’s not like you aren’t being “left alone”
