Pizza Ordering and the National ID Card

I recently had another irritating encounter with those who would have you blithely sign away your rights to your own identity and privacy. I just hate that. And so should we all. As Mark keeps telling me - if you aren't worried, you aren't paying attention!

So I got a good laugh today when my friend Joann sent a link to this video from the fine people at the ACLU - who evidently ARE paying attention to what sort of data is collected about us and who is using it. "They" are tracking our purchases, our medical records, where we go online, our credit - you name it, they have it, and they are selling it to anyone who wants to buy it. Invasive new technologies coupled with our government's impression that any snooping is good snooping when we are "fighting the war on terror" are coming together with some very interesting implications.

What is this world coming to? Watch it and see.
