Government wants to know every website we go to.
I was listening to Rachel Maddow on AAR this morning (7:00am thru 9:00am) and she was reporting what was in today's news (which I'm trying to avoid for a while).

It seems the government wants website owners to turn over the names of everyone who visits their sites. (What's next? Government TV cameras in every toilet in your home?) No doubt, the government wants this info to help them track down terrorists. Excuse my skepticism, but there's more of a chance of finding a thousand dollar bill in a fortune cookie than in nabbing a terrorist on DU.

Nonetheless, a terrorist is whoever Junior and Shotgun Dick says is a terrorist, so let's get our jabs in while we can. Junior, Dick, go Cheney yourselves, you miserable pieces of pig droppings. Ahhhh, that felt good. I guess I really told them. And I would also guess that if they get a chance to read it, I will be categorized as a terrorist. (Or at least put on a no-fly list.)

I'm treating this lightly, but it's deadly serious. There is no corner of our lives that they don't want to track and no factoid about us that they don't want to know.

Anyone who believes they still possess their freedom, let me break the news to you. You are a hamster running on an enclosed wheel going nowhere. Somehow, someway, we must find a way to stop these miserable swine and try them for every single crime they've committed over the past six years. And then lock them away for life.

1. Well, then give them what they want, make a point of going to.............
.....every Democratic or Independent oriented website you can find. I do it regularly - just to keep the watchers busy.

2. Right, cause the way to catch terrorists is to see how many times they
saw the last viral video at "YouTube", or how often they crank one out at some porn site. Right...

Seriously, this is aimed at content control. One step more towards complete orwellian fascism.
