Normally I don't respond to you
because it's obvious you are not in touch with reality, and your post here only confirms that notion.

But I for one do not agree with your stance on privacy. I have nothing to hide, but I also value my privacy and my freedoms. Your inane attitude towards personal privacy and the willingness you have to allow your privacy to be taken away along with your freedom is at best, appalling.

You may want to reconsider your position on this in that by allowing this level of access into your personal life and by relinquishing what few freedoms are left you are allowing your very government the kind of control the Constitution was written to prevent. You are allowing the democratic republic to become a fascist state, where your very life becomes property of the state. Unlike yourself and others of your mindset, I do not wish to see this happen. I enjoy the freedoms I have and no amount of wire tapping or eavesdropping will protect me and my family from terrorism, this is just a fact of being free. But to allow the government and it's agencies this kind of control allows for the abuse of that same control. For those that cannot learn from history, they are doomed to repeat it's mistakes... and to think I volunteered 14 years of my life, so you could enjoy yours and the freedom this nation offered and here you say my sacrifice along with all the others still out there is worth nothing? You sir, need to spend about 2 seconds in my sights...
