Thanks Declan...: This is a threat to what is left of our privacy and I don't think party affiliation makes much difference. It is inevitable regardless of who's in the WH.

The potential for abuse that such a system would create is huge. If the people have any wisdom left they should oppose this kind of invasion at every turn.

Thanks to Declan for bringing us this story and the many other important stories he reports on.
Your articles are right on target Declan. Keep 'em coming!; Posted by: Tim Patterson Posted on: 01/26/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
