It won't be long before jokes about a 'subject' gets you put on a watch list. I don't want anybody sniffing my packets or sniffing my anything for that matter.
If ISPs want to do something productive, then start with the worst and nastiest problems and then work their way towards the evil file sharers. Like our jails need any more tenants. Like Hollywood needs anymore money. Go after the child pronographers, terrorists, but also keep in mind that we have rights too. Do it legally. Oh, and if they have time do something about all the fake sites that steal folks money that probably ends up in terrorists, mafia, and rogue governments pockets. Hell, I guess a gallon of gas does some of that too. -- If we quit voting, will they all just go away? | |   spy1 Welcome to Amerika Premium join:2002-06-24 Charlotte, NC

Various people warn you that you're being spied on at every turn (by AT&T, the N.S.A., the F.B.I., etc.); that the AT&T/BellSouth merger should have been vociferously opposed; that the expansion of C.A.L.E.A should have been opposed the same way (submitting comments to the F.C.C, F.E.) - literally beg everyone to get involved and politically active in opposing it before it happens or to reverse it.

And damned near everyone just sits back and says "Aw, we need all this stuff to keep us safe" or "Aw, it won't affect me"
And then it does.
And only then does all the bitching and whining start.
We are - quite literally - doomed to suffer the consequences of our own lack of interest and action.
All because we lack the will to fight it.
