TODAY(!!) SPYING AT HOME
Today, the boss guy brought up the spying for security issue. I know, I know, it is for the good of the country(sic). My brain had turned to stone. Things are no longer absorbed, they bounce off it and rattle around inside my head. Politicians, no matter which party, are not to be trusted. Do not, ever, leave a daughter or son(Barney Frank) alone with a politician. The Alien and Sedition Acts were four bills passed and signed into law, in 1798, by President John Adams. The bills were passed, due to partisan hysteria and hostility to foreigners, namely the Irish and French. The Sedition Act forbade writing, publishing, or speaking anything of a false, scandalous and malicious nature against the government. For those of us with limited capacity, the bouncing off the brain thing, now that they have the right to listen to your private conversations, now that your employer has taken liberty to invade your privacy, what will be next. Will there be a renewal of the Sedition Act? Will there be monitoring devices added to public and private phones and computers? Will we fined if we voice displeasure at the way government is running? Remember, they can hear you, where ever you are. Your work phone, your work computer all have monitoring devices/programs installed. That security badge your employer gives you to protect you at work, monitors your activities and movements throughout the work day, and any other day you are at the office. Your employer does monitor all e-mail and usage of the company computer, when it is logged on. The company vehicles can and probably have an ON-STAR capacity to monitor the vehicles whereabouts and speed. I know, I am a good person/worker so; " what do I care, let them monitor me". Sad to say, all good people are guilty of that remark, at one time or another, BUT NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING ELSE. The very thought that anyone would be willing to give up any of their rights and freedoms scares me, more than anything else. A lot of very good people fought and died protecting those rights and freedoms, so we can continue to have this discussion and talk about the inept politicians. Support the Social Security amendment for free golf for seniors:)
