Wow teko, you may reget that one day!  Seriously, no thank you. As long as I have a choice I am saying leave me alone. Soon enough it wont be a choice, but for now I am so glad I have a few freedoms.

I even pay for a car that keeps tabs on me and anyone riding in my car. It registers if I am wearing my seat belt, how fast I go at any given time, if my passengers are wearing their seat belts etc. AND I AM PAYING FOR THE SNITCH

I always thought it was common knowledge that living in the electronic age that we do, we have no privacy. It is a must have in the times we live in. Besides, with facebook, my space, texting and I heard recently that the smart phones track you and record where yu have been. It is the price we pay for living in this age I guess. Personally, doesnt bother me one iota as I really have nothing to hide. I think we are a far far cry from communism but if we object I guess the only option is to not partake? I also heard potential employers check the net as do collection agencies and things like workmens comp and those on the system are followed up on quite frequently. We as a nation like to brag and boast, and pretty much tell them what we are about anyway. So they take advantage I guess.

This doesn't surprise me. I thought it was fairly common knowledge that many, if not all, public electronic networks are monitored and have a series of key words that raise red flags with whomever the authorities are over that electronic network.
