AT&T Privacy policy.

What a sad joke AT&T is.  Their written,  electronic, and spoken communication always refers to you as a valued customer. Even when they are telling you that none of your information is confidential as between you and the company.  I just got an email update of the AT&T privacy policy. I actually read it.  More accurately it should be called the AT&T Involuntary Dissemination Policy.

There is essentially zero privacy online.  AT&T knows which websites you visit while on their network, what services you use, who you call, who you text and who texts you.  Then it shares that information with a crowd of recipients.  Maybe a crowd is an overstatement on my part, but the language of the Involuntary Dissemination Policy seems able to encompass just about any company or government entity as a potential recipient of information about you.

Big Brother regulates AT&T and other carriers.  Big Brother can be renamed "Simon" as in Simon says...

Democrats giving in to fear.

Recently the Senate Judiciary Committee recommended changes to the woefully misnamed Patriot Act that would have reduced some of the unilateral and offensive power exercisable by the U.S. Government. In 2001, the terrified and confused congress granted sweeping powers to the military, intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Those powers are incongruous with the Constitution, but are forced on the people in the name of "security." This article describes what the mice in D.C. did with those recommendations for a return to privacy and courage. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100225/D9E35TM00.html

What ever happened to FDR's "We have nothing to fear but fear itself"? Ladies and Gentlemen your representative's courage has left the building. Let us vote out the scared and timid and put in the fresh, idealistic and hopeful. We don't need seniority in Congress. We need leadership and courage
