Same here. Bush shouldn't have allowed it, nor should have Obama. It is just one little chip at our privacy, but pretty soon all those small blows add up to one big hole.

Oh gosh, how do I feel about that? Exactly the same way I feel about the Republicans reading my e-mails. . . so remote a possiblity that it is not worth considering.

Not being very libral I really don't care who reads what of mine since it is all pretty boring. If I have something important to say you can bet it isn't gonna be on a cell phone or on line.

Words cops show up at my door and they'll get a lesson on the 2nd. That wouldn't be the first or even the 2nd time cops left my ft door for that very lesson either. I tend to really grumpy when I am woken up too early. It is much better to call ahead.

If that is so, then why did Congress pass that act?

On the contrary..quite easy to do with data mining off the mail server.
Data mining has come a long way. Combine data mining with the Patriot Act and you have:


"No Database Left Behind"

Sure will! With or without with my towel?

Was it the cop thing? Because if it was, twice they tucked tail and left, wisely so... Why? wrong house, and at 3:30 AM I am one mean rotten SOB to get along with, more so with a side by side in hand. BTW I am pro cop, but I still get some miffed being woke up in the midst of night fer nuthin'.

All they got was fair and equal treatement, it has happened to civies before too.

Smile Can Our Freedoms Be Abused By Detractors?

How do you feel about the Obama Adm. reading the content of your emails?

Well the Adm. can read mine--they may already have done so.

However I would be very concerned if I were some posters and/or their cohorts.
I'm sure most know of those I refer to.

Just fine read all you want. Hopefully, if they are reading some they can prevent some of these idiots from doing harm to innocent bystanders!
