Just Say No | |
As I said once before and because sometimes if you don’t laugh you’ll cry:
If you are worried about the president listening in, just use bigger words.
That was in January, around the time that the FBI declared its War on Porn, when MSN and Yahoo turned records of users’ surfing habits over to government investigators.
Of course that blew over quickly. After all, they were just messing with the Adult Industry. No need for John and Jane Doe to fret. They were safe. Right?
Well…
In case you haven’t heard, Verizon, AT&T and Bell South have admitted to sharing call records with the NSA. The righteous and mighty Capital Clux Clan, who evidently have never read the Constitution or Bill of Rights, now have added illegal spying on everyday Americans to their bag of dirty tricks. Seems that John and Jane Doe just might not be as safe as they thought they were.
Google said no to the FBI. Qwest said no to the NSA. Shame on the rest of them.
What can you do? The ACLU has an online petition which you can access here.
Be my guest. Take a stand. Do the right thing.

Many of those morality policemen visit callgirls and dominatrixes themselves.
But I must add one comment: not that this isn’t an important issue, because it is. But, I feel like this is a red herring, it is a political wedge issue with which to galvanize the right-wing christian base. It distracts from something even more important, which is that we are losing thousands of lives and billions of dollars in a war that we are losing and that is making us less safe rather than more safe. Our economy is now in the hands of the Chinese. Thanks a lot, W.
It is 1984…just a few years late. The “christian right”, a misnomer if there ever was one, now has virtual control over the government through “boy George”. The thought police are here. If you don’t think credit card records and heathl records aren’t next why are you here at all. I don’t want to live in a theocracy yet that is where we are headed.
We all should be terrified…
Thanks for bringing it up Angie…I hope they exile me to the same place as you!!!!
