would you be happy then if the "government" listened in on your phonecalls with your lawyer? or your tax attorney? or your doctor? or your psychiatrist? or your stockbroker? or your mistress? or your wife? or your election campaign manager? or any of a myriad of things you would rather not get out into public or potentially be used against you?

Well let's see...
I don't have a lawyer (don't need one)
I don't have a Tax Attorney (don't need one, I do my own taxes thank you)
I have a Doctor but have no health issues that would be of interest to anyone (I have an ingrown toenail)
I don't have a Psychiatrist (don't have any mental issues)
I don't have a Stock Broker (company 401K and gold my friend!)
I don't have a mistress (I am Happily Married!)
I have a wife (did I mention I'm Happily Married)
Election Campaign Manager (puleese! Politics? Who, Me?)

In other words, live a good clean life, ignore outside influences, pay your taxes on time and you will have little to worry about; Like me :)

how many people get out of their vehicle, take go look around first, like he did, then take a piece of "irigation pipe" out of their vehicle and "run" it into the field? if he was in a hurry to put that "irigation pipe" in the field, he would have had it with him very soon after he stepped out of the vehicle.

watch the video very carefully and watch each bit of body language, it's clearly there.

and in your words "jeez!"

Will of the People

On: Microsoft Abandons Gay Rights Bill

The will of the people is not moving towards support for gay/lesbian issues. You know, political landmines... Coporations are always looking at the bottomline and support for issues which are not considered mainstream can hurt some companies and kill others. Sorry, that's just that way it is these days...
