Watch Your Neighbors Political Contribution

arrianus writes "Fundrace.org gives a fascinating perspective on campaign donation laws. You can look up people's political donations to the current presidential campaign based on name (type in a friend's name, and see how much money he donated, and to whom), location (see which of your neighbors are politically active). I leave the privacy implications of this as an exercise to the reader. How long before this is tied into marketing databases? What happens if an employer were to prescreen employees based on political leanings?" Well, it is illegal to screen like that - and frankly, for a healthy democracy, it's probably better to have this in the open. Still, disturbing to see.

    Bullshit.

    "Lemee see your tits"
    "Lemeee see your pussy"
    "I wanna fuck you" .....et cetera...

    That's why Ol' stern was taken off clear channel.
