You Should Be Outraged At The Promise Of More Online Government Snooping

Here’s why: Chucking Privacy

I’ve already mentioned this here, but not only is “Bribe Me With Low Mortgage Rates Dodd” behind this, but also Chuck “I’m bad and I’ll bully you to prove it” Grassley is behind this too.

And it’s not just about crushing small home based businesses, it’s not even about making scads of money in taxes… they’ll only get a billion they estimate, that’s Washington-speak for “chump change”.

The real risk is privacy… think “Veteran’s Administration Laptop Stolen”

Here’s a great quote too:

As John Barlow, a Grateful Dead lyricist who co-founded the privacy watchdog Electronic Frontier Foundation, once said, “Relying on the government to protect your privacy is like asking a peeping tom to install your window blinds.”
