| This is about 253rd on my priority list I mean, seriously... I don't care that much. Compared to all the other things I'm trying to take care of, worrying that my web surfing habits are being tracked, summarized, and reported as marketing information is about dead last on that list.
Privacy is a myth. Actually it's worse than that. Privacy is a cult, comprised of people who think we have it, and it's eroding. News flash ... there is no privacy. Get over it. If someone really wants to know what you are up to, they will find out. Don't do stuff you'd be ashamed of if it was revealed. Then you don't have to worry. |

Got anything to actually say? |

Actually, it exists for those who are willing to take the time and effort to protect it. As mentioned above, if you guard your telephone number, use adblocking, delete cookies and watch who you do business with and use cash, then you do have privacy.
However, whenever you engage in any sort of commerce that uses credit cards, bank cards, frequent shopper clubs, frequent flier miles, check cashing cards or any other scheme, then no, you're just another name to be sold and traded. |

I don't think its a cult, since most people believe they have privacy and don't join together as a group.
Privacy is an illusion. You may think you are anonymouse on the internet, you are not. |

Your point is taken.
I am not trying to argue with you here, I'm sincerely curious. What value are you are receiving for this "privacy" that you have to work to get?
I know I'm getting value from being on the grid. I get free travel, I get the convenience of using credit cards and ATMs wherever I go, the airlines and hotels treat me nicely because I'm a frequent customer, I get good interest rates when I borrow money because I have a credit history. It's not that big a deal for me to delete email that is pitching something to me I'm not interested in. I'm on the do-not-call list which means the phone rings a lot less.
The only thing I would really complain about is the amount of junk mail I get and I have to spend 10 minutes a day opening and sorting for recycling. But even that's not that big a deal to me. |

 It is a sad and tragic thing when we stop caring. ...but if you reflect the the thoughts and feeling's of others are you the reflection or the ghost of your residual self image.?
I am only means something when you care. If not then in a similar way isn't the rest of your menial existence void?! |

It looks like you focused on the "I don't care" part of my post.
Please understand I am not talking about caring about people. I am talking about not caring whether my click habits are tracked and rolled up as marketing information. Pretty much a different thing. |
