Based on what you've posted here, I'd say much the same.

You think they stop at the left wing line?

It's become 'they' now, and 'they' are the gubmint and 'they' be here to...enforce.

I find little comfort in irrational paranoia. But hey, feel free.

I have no fears about the government using legally obtained wiretaps to listen into what I write or say over the internet or phone because I will continue to write or say whatever I want. I speak my mind because I do not fear this government. If I ever proposed criminal actions I would then have a reason to fear the government but as I am not a revolutionary or terrorist I could care less if the government gets a warrant to listen in.

I am far more concerned with the private sector collecting, without my knowledge or permission, economic data and using that to my disadvantage. As far as I am concerned the very concept of a Financial Score is a gross violation of my privacy. The private sector should not be allowed to collect this information about me or anyone else. Private is private!

We told you so. Should've listened when you had a chance.

Well Greg, what would you say if they want to do this WITHOUT a warrant? That is what they want.
