So it goes. Cover 'em over before he stinks, boys...

I use Facebook and almost all of my "personal" info is a lie or a smart ass answer, like just listing "Apathy" for "Interests". If someone is stupid enough to believe what I said in the info section, I don't want to talk to them anyway. Only tell the truth on the web when you absolutely have to.

Be sure to lie whenever you can get away with it. When subscribing to magazines, spell your first name slightly differently on every subscription form. Every time someone wants household income, check a different level. If your address or phone number isn't important to what your filling out, change a couple of numbers. Of course, don't be an idiot and screw up something that might void a warranty or get you into legal trouble, but if some nosey organization is just asking for information, give 'em some. Just make it the wrong information. Depending on the situation, your lies may be little ones or totally outrageous. Data mining is here to stay, but if enough people start lying to information gatherers, the data mined will be worthless. Oh yeah, the election day exit polls? Always tell 'em you voted for the other candidate :)

I have a large cranial capacity (hat size: 8 1/8) and I'm over 6 feet tall. I'm sure that my ancestors interbred with the Boskop, leading to me, a mentally AND physically superior humanoid! I began to make plans to rule the world, if not the known universe. But my wife pointed out that the simplest explanation is often the best and that I'm probably just a big fathead. Rats!

Unfortunately, the CEO's comment reflects an attitude that appears to becoming more common: You don't need privacy if you're not doing anything wrong. How about my right to decide that some private, legal action or attitude of mine is just none of your damn business?

I've actually heard people respond to revelations like this by saying, "If you're not doing anything wrong, why are you worried about the government having this information?" I then ask "Really? Well, tell me all about your sex life..no?..are you engaging in some perversion?" or "How much money have you got in the bank?...Why won't you tell me? Are you laundering money for drug dealers?" I don't know which is worse, these clowns prying into our lives or our wonderful Congress sitting there and letting them do it. Big Brother is taking over faster than you doublethink.

If the document mentioned in the article is truthful, Scientology practitioners have been subjected to criminal activities such as harassment and physical attacks. If so, perpetrators of those acts should be prosecuted under existing laws. But this organization is proposing silencing dissent to "protect" itself from violent nuts. The U.S. Government could follow the same logic to stifle free speech. Who do these people think they are?....Dick Cheney?

I was looking at the objections to the HIV/AIDS vaccine trials from the bible-banger and was immediately put in mind of one of the late, great George Carlin's dialogues. George was describing being in a social situation and having to listen to drivel from some brain-damaged nitwit. He advised that the socially correct thing to do was to nod politely while making non-committal comments so as not to offend the blathering party. At that point, he began to tremble and, with his eyes bulging, lamented that, from deep within our very souls, wells up the proper but less polite response: "BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!", "BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!" Ah George, I do miss you so....

Didn't ANYBODY at Lenovo stop and and say "Hey! We might piss off our users!"? I've got a Lenovo T61 and like it. But, after this posting, I told the firewall not to let anything regarding Lenovo updates out on the web. I also shut the update feature off in the ThinkVantage Productivity Center, (never found their updates worth much anyway). Thanks for a very useful posting, whoever you are.

I'm sure the Feds and others think they can do this as standard operating procedure. I don't give a rat's patootie what they think. If I was ever arrested, I'd sit there chanting "Get a warrant!" through my clenched teeth. At least I'd have some basis for later demanding that they expunge me from their database. Its ridiculous to justify this data collection by saying, in essence, that I might be guilty of some future crime that hasn't even occurred yet.

I'm a bit surprised at Google's response. I would have thought that they'd jump at the chance to rat out foreign citizens to their government. They were SO efficient at doing that when the Chinese thugs were hunting down those pesky dissidents.

Yes, I tried to go there and report myself for thinking that the king's hat looks like an open bowling bag, (see pic in article) but alas, I couldn't.
