This is SO not good.

Ok, it is now time to start fighting back, if we are not too late already:

And whilst I am dooming and glooming, there is another article msnbc runs often on the home page-- I cannot link to it now, but the title runs something like this:

"Why Isn't Cash Already Obsolete?"
I hope this just a coincidence...

Unfortunatly, tech has all but destroyed our privacy. A few bucks and/or a few clicks and just about anything about anyone can be obtained.

This whole Homeland Security thing is nuts - I understand fully trying to catch terrorists, but its a total invasion of privacy. The very country that was founded on freedom is now becoming a police-like state. Very, very scary. Seems that if we try to speak out, they'll pinpoint us as 'anti-government', put our name on the Big Brother's Watching list, and every single thing we do, online or otherwise, could/would be monitored. Yet, the US criticizes countries like China that act in the same way that the US is going towards! I have dual citizenship, perhaps its time to think about moving to one of the EU countries. I knew that passport would come in good for something!
