If We The People(tm) are gonna get off our lazy whining arses and actually combat this shit, then we need insiders.

People who can dig up dirt on high-profile figures, and not even blackmail, just release it. no amount of money can equate to something like a destroyed reputation, or a more informed electorate.

The purpose of all this crap is to crush dissent. Read Nineteen Eighty-Four [by George Orwell, if you live in a remote Hebridean cave]. It can be done imperceptiveley, like stopping you traveling, making credit/loans more expensive or not available, stopping you getting good jobs, etc.

Conspiracy theory? Yes, I could look up proof but I'm too busy. Ford in the UK is one example though, had MI5(6?) filter out anyone who would like a worker's union.

You have [ok, had] freedom. The government and $BIG_CORP stand to gain loads of you lose that freedom and more information about you is readily available.

Do you really want to entrust your freedom and privacy to groups of people with a proven record of corruption, megalomania, disregard for human life, and brutal crushing of disent, who stand to gain plenty from you losing those rights altogether?

Hey, you yanks, whats that over there in the toilet bowl? Uh, I think it says, umm... "Con...", "Cons... tit... ut... something". Hmmm nevermind, you probably weren't using it anyway.

My mother was in an office job for some time, working for social security, which resulted in her back becoming slightly more curved than the average human. I've recently discovered that my back is also the same - possibly from birth, or maybe from sitting at a desk for too long. At 15 years old I'd like to think I'm not going to become 'deformed' before I hit the old-age routine.

Truth is, no matter what type of chair you use, it's not going to make any difference. How you sit and how long you sit there are the main factors. I have a habit of slouching, and putting my feet up, so I recommend not to do either of the above or anything remotely linked to them.

Our parents and other elders do have a point to their endless nagging after all - posture matters!
