Get the government the hell away from me, I think its too big, and the bigger it gets, the less trustworthy it is.

Exactly. Why would I want the goverment to be watching me? It's like they would watch your every move. It's my life and I don't want to have an audience. It's like someone looking underneath your bathroom stall, watching you take a shower, having someone look through a window and watching you change. I perfer to have privacy because what you do is private to yourself and basically when your under 18, the only one thing you have to yourself.Dreila said:No they shouldn't. It's called privacy rights.

Princess Jeanie said:I, honestly, don't care. This isn't going to be George Orwell's "1984", at least not where we are at. "1984" is an extreme and dark version of censorship and big brother. The government is no where near being the "thought police". They aren't controling what we say, what we write and who we associate with. It would be alarmist to even believe we are edging close to such a society. "The government" which is watching us, is really a bunch of computers. They could careless if you email your friend across seas or search this site and they certainly aren't judging us. So, for me and you, as we live out our lives will likely never be of any interest to the government. And frankly, if they did want to look at what I did, I wouldn't have anything to hide.

Ophelia said:I think you may be missing the point. A human being will be looking at the data collected by the computers you mention. And are you really comfortable with the idea of the government being able to look at your medical records or what you've been checking out of your library? The Patriot Act allows for such governmental powers. It is not alarmist to be concerned about our privacy rights being eroded bit by bit, until suddenly we wake up one morning and we are living in Orwell's dystopia.
