Oh jeez. If they watch me, they see my rigorous routine of sleep, use the toilet, pleasure myself vigorously, then go to work.

Not necessarily in that order.

That makes me wonder.

Why do we almost never see any female posters in Politics? I see 'em in other forums 'round here.

Sadly, this doesn't surprise me.

I always joked with my ex how some CIA agent is listening to our phone conversations, while in the back of my head somebody probably was.

This bothers me more than words.

Isn't it in 1984 where they use the TV to watch the people in their homes?

People I know are beginning to think I am not as paranoid as they used to think.

The key is that those devices need to be networked. If your microwave isn't on your home network or isn't one of the new ones that has that capability, then you are okay.

On the other hand we should think about this thing called "The Cloud." Just exactly where are all the bank records and passwords? Who really owns "Lifelock?"

Maybe, but this sort of activity is indicative of the laundry list of problems we have. Wasting money we don't have to infringe on the rights/freedom/privacy of its citizens is completely consistent with our self-destructive path.

I see the latter being reversible. We can undo the Patriot Act and the other one Obama just passed recently. I do not see the former, in the foreseeable future, being reversed. It is systemic cultural issue. Very hard to reverse a culture.

I like Judge Napolitano, but he spent 98% of that article bloviating and then, after all that, provided no context for General Petraeus' comments.

I agree, it was poorly written. I actually thoroughly enjoy the good judge's commentary, but I read his book Nation of Sheep and it was just average. I guess he doesn't have the same gift for writing as he does speaking.
