What Privacy?
Amen. And the Homeland Security “spy” does not bother or irritate me a tenth as much as those three other snoops do. And on balance, I do not consider him one tenth of the potential threat that the other three embody.
Hmmm, as to ‘’unlisted’’ phone numbers give VOIP a try. We’ve had it with conventional phone companies and have been using Vonnage for our service for nearly a year with no problems. As to the ‘health insurers,’ credit services (not), and marketeers, a pox on them and their’s.
A few years back, one of the major retail chains (think Sears or Wal-mart)decided that it would ‘help’ their customers by sending them a notice that the customer needed to replace things that by their purchasing history had purchased in the past. This totally freeked out the people that someone could tell them that their underwear was getting worn out and proceed to tell them about it.
OCM, by doing that you become a threat to those that monitor everyone.
Just as a reality check, Folks - our Constitution does NOT guarantee a ‘right to privacy’ .............................. it guarantees against ‘unreasonable search and seizure’, and the idea of ‘man’s home is his castle’ has been codified by acquiesence - but you can search the Constitution, and there is no ‘right to privacy’ .................

"Right to privacy” is probably one of the most misunderstood “rights” that most Americans think they have an absolute entitlement to…
I’m with OCM. I try to minimize my use of anything that will leave a paper trail. Not because I’m paranoid of the government. No, I’m more worried about the other three “spies” getting ahold of my info. Just got a letter yesterday from H&R Block saying that they “accidentally” released my SSN info...its sad when you try so hard to keep your personal info secure and somebody still manages to throw it out for public comsumption.
