Dear My MP,
I read with horror this week (http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/telecoms/article3965033.ece) about the plans for the home office to keep a massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. How is this actually going to help? As a technical professional I know that the moment these plans are announced the people that want to keep secrets are going to turn to encryption, dark nets and tor (anonymous emails) so in effect all you will end up with is a large database of law abiding citizens data. How is this good use of taxpayers money or going to help in the fight against terrorism or crime? I suspect this is just another element of the incumbent administrations need to control us and knee jerk thinking. I am not happy.
Yours sincerely,
The best part of EVE-Online is that the storyline does evolve and more importantly unlike many of the MMORPGS when EVE upgrades their gaming experience, for example the revalations patch that has just come out, all major releases are free as well as opposed to the outdated pricing models for some other MMORPGS where you have to pay even more than the monthly outlay for your online gaming experience.
With EVE you don't have to PvP, there is also trade and missions and more. get a trial account and play with almost 30,000 people playing at any one time it's good fun.

Why nopt just improve the Social Security number system? As opposed to trying to construct an entirely new system?
