The Dept of Homeland Security is appointing a board to manage "online
privacy." One of the board members is one of the makers of the Gator
spyware.
What! are you questioning the wisdom of our government?
Save some time and have your toothbrush and a change of underwear
ready. The FBI are already on their way.

Let us visualize the secure man; and by this term, I mean
a man who has settled for financial and personal security
for his goal in life...His ideas and ideals are those of
society in general and he is accepted as a respectable,
but average and prosaic man. But is he a man? Has he
any self-respect or pride in himself? How could he, when
he has risked nothing and gained nothing...How does he feel
when he realizes that he has barely tasted the meal of life;
when he sees the prison he has made for himself in pursuit
of the almighty dollar? If he thinks this is all well and
good, fine, but think of the tragedy of a man who has sacrificed
his freedom on the altar of security, and wishes he could turn
back the hands of time. A man is to be pitied who lacked the
courage to accept the challenge of freedom and depart from the
cushion of security and see life as it is instead of living it
second-hand. - Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway

Hahahaha, I know right? Even some of the staunch bush supporters I
talk to have started to fall back on, "my taxes are lower so fuck you"
as an argument. So much for the values mandate I guess. ;]
