(6,109 posts)1. Interesting. How long before we get the power to economiclaly manage our personal information.
It is a form of personal invasion, information theft. When hackers do it it's a crime. When information management and collection software giants do it, it is a business model. We must lock down as much as we can and manage it better. Don't ask me for specifics, just streaming my thoughts..
But if our data is so valuable, it should protected. The constitution is clearly applicable.

(3,991 posts)3. Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the tower of song
I love RT. Nothing like a detached foreign power to call Americans on their shit, which is what RT excels at.
The American system has become insane. The market principles advocated by Adam Smith and the rest have fallen by the wayside, and a new generation has taken over (I'll never forget the interview with President Hu where he was asking Americans to read both Adam Smith's books, and give up their insanity) The new generation of the spy elite is based on high school bullshit, top earners dancing in circles about the poor people they can spy on. Nevermind that the poor wave their dicks in a certain way and the rich run in a direction that makes the economy collapse, this new generation believes America is guaranteed its wealth, no effort is required, so they don't notice that the whole thing is run on debt, they believe that if they only keep their hidden cams in the trailer court their wealth is guaranteed.
