Coming To Terms With Our Spy Happy World

SHORTLY AFTER THE ENTIRE WORLD, including we the American people, rose up in outraged verbal indignation at the new knowledge that the United States government has its nose in everybody's business, without permission, President Obama entered damage control mode. You can rest assured that Barack Hussein Obama has no desire to be remembered as the American President who happily, knowingly presided over the advent of the most agregious national spy network in human history. And if he isn't careful, that's exactly what he'll come to be known for. When in doubt, form a committee. Obama's scapegoat committee is called something like "The Internet and Technology Advisory Group", certainly impressive sounding enough to gain attention. Their job was to do a little research, and then tell the President what he should do, if anything, about the intelligence gathering without permission community in the American government. That's quite a chore; hell, by the time you get through writing down the names of all the different American spy agenices, you're out of ink, dead tired, and thoroughly confused. The members of this team/committee are all alleged high tech internet experts. Fine. Their recommendation? Nobody knows. All we are getting from the President are vague, generic platitudes, such as "we know we are doing nothing wrong, but it is important to counter the popular misconconception that we are." Oh, whatever. This isn't going away soon, folks. Information is simply too valuable a commodity/weapon/tool to be ingored, or to be respected when in someone else's possession. The advertising on this and every other website is taylored to whatever person is reading the website, based on the visotor's personal interests, which probably nobody should even know other than a few close friends and family members. Can you imagine what the federal American governmnet knowsw about you? Maybe things you yourself atren't even aware of.
