Well folks, I hope you’re all hanging on to your privacy tightly because it looks like another chunk of it is going into the political toilet. I just saw an MSNBC breaking news report bearing the one-liner:

House joins Senate in expanding warrantless wiretap power

If anything, powers like this should be RESTRICTED severely. I know, the big argument is that this is all in the name of national security but you know something? I think that even national security needs to be examined very carefully, especially when it starts walking on privacy without even so much as little constitutional details like search warrants.

    You have to take comfort in knowing that at the rate our rights are disappearing. We’ll be a communist country in a few years!

    Something to look forward to

      Actually, I tend to expect something a bit more malevolent than a measly communist party
