Naysayers said nay, the government said "oh, don't worry about it"
Now we see what they did with the Patriot Act.

I'm all for privacy, I'm all for the government knowing as little about any one citizen as possible. Why do they need to investigate who's used the libraries? Maybe they can see who looked up bombs? or who may be fascinated by Al Queda?

Just because someone wants to know more about something doesn't give you any reason to put them under surveillance. Once you're watching them, who knows what else you may "bag" them for?

I downloaded the Anarchist's cookbook, I read all about hacking and phreaking. If I was looking this up from the library, I could have been tracked, and might be on their list right now. You may think I'm being paranoid, but it's not that simple.
I am afraid, but I'm afraid of a realization of 1984.

Do you think this poses a threat?
Would you care if they were looking into your life?
