When will they get it?

When will these companies and politicians start to understand that we don't want malicious and obtrusive programs installed without our knowledge on our PC's nor do we want our privacy violated.

1)When they get handwritten letters and phone calls to their local offices.

2)When an incumbent loses.

Neither one is likely.

I think they know that. It's just for whatever reasons, they *want* to be able to install malicious and obtrusive programs without our knowledge on our PC's in order to steal and learn our private information and make sure we dont have any *privacy*. Whether it be for greed or for power, whichever one, they want it.
