So today the big fuss is that the US government has been secretly listening to millions of phone calls all across the land, creating a database of information. Bush says the government is "not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans". Hmmm.
I don't know exactly where I stand on this. National security is a huge deal to me. My biggest fear is that our country could piss off enough people for them to start a nuclear war. I think these people have proven they are willing to die for what they believe in.
On the other hand anymore there is no such thing as privacy. Due to technology it's impossible to retain our privacy. Did you know it is extremely easy to put a script on a web page so that every time a person visits the page, it takes down their I.P. address, and can even give a latitude and longitude location for the person. This means if you are on the web, you are being tracked, monitored, watched and being spied on constantly. Not cool.
I have to sleep on this one. I'll have more tomorrow.
