this one is directed at all my friends who fear big brother.

told you so

i'm pretty optimistic about the ability of the american government to not totally invade our privacy; members of congress are, after all, citizens themselves. no one would dare allow for the creation of a system that would impose a 1984-esque era.

i guess this just goes back to my point that although you read a lot of sensationalist articles about how the government wants to monitor everything you do, the government will not do this in the sake of perpetuating goverment, as 1984 would lead you to believe.

in any case, alex borst, i told you nothing would come of these initiatives by poindexter and other sketchy people ...

i trust the government more than corporations.
