Website Posts Partial SSNs of Politicians in Protest

John3 writes "The Foundation for Taxpayer & Consumer Rights has posted partial Social Security numbers for several California politicians to protest their vote against pending privacy legislation. According to a San Francisco Chronicle story, the SSNs were purchased on the Internet for $26." Now there's an effective way of showing the problems of the status quo.

That statement is a generalization. American's don't *all* believe that smaller governments are intrinsically better any more than all Europeans believe that government is a way of helping people. Maybe *you* do, but there's 220 million people in here. (Not saying whether I agree or disagree, but at least I recognize that the two positions both have their strengths and weaknesses.)
