| Re: FTC Spyware Workshop: 1st Impressions "I'm ignorant here; does the FTC get flushed out if there's a different President come January?"
I don't know the answer to that question, but I hope not.
The following quote is from Commissioner Swindle.
"According to Orson Swindle, a Federal Trade Commission member and past Hawaii political candidate, taxing Internet transactions "is not a nice scenario."
"By tracking individual transactions, the government would create a massive database that knows all your finances, your buying patterns and your personal preferences -- and all that is controlled by the government," Swindle told a Tax Foundation of Hawaii luncheon crowd this week. He also gave a radio address and spoke to the Rotary Club of Honolulu on the issue during his most recent visit to our state."
That type of position is a very healthy one.
