The Privacy Candidate

Alsee writes "Wired News reports 'electronic civil libertarians' hearts are a-twitter' over US Presidential hopeful Senator Hillary Clinton's bold stance on the right to privacy. Wired quotes Clinton: 'At all levels, the privacy protections for ordinary citizens are broken, inadequate and out of date.' Clinton gave a speech last June to the American Constitution Society (text, WMF) in which she addressed electronic surveillance, consumer opt-in vs. opt-out, cyber-security, commercial and government handling of personal data, data offshoring, data leaks, and even genetic discrimination." Would you consider a candidate's stand on privacy important enough to sway your vote?

Gun Ownership- The Ultimate Guarantee of Privacy

What are all of the anti-gin slashdotters going to do when the Government continues to assert that your rights come FROM the Government. Hillary Clinton is a joke. The last Clinton regime armed China. The next will prevent any more pesky assertion of indiviual rights. Welcoem to the collective, I hope you folks are ready to immerser yourselves in a society that allows privacy as long as you toe the party line. Night folks.
