I just lost it...

I was on the phone with my 80+ year old mother and she said employers now check your online activity.

I told her there was no need to worry but she said, "I know you have done some really radical things."

Puzzled, I asked, "Like what?"

She said, "You told me you were a member of some 'Underground'."

I once posted a link to some weather data for a particular date from the Weather Underground site on a crime site. One of the people in the discussion refused to click on the link since they were sure it was a radical political organization.
