That's presumably why all those cell phone companies handed over all your calls to the police without a warrant.

Only one called their lawyers to ask if it was legal.

The tension in the middle east dates back to when ug the cavemen decided the sun was god and zog the caveman decided the moon was god.

Take any news report about the middle east and replace the names with cananites, babylonians, persions, egyptians, romans, etc - the story doesn't change.

In fact if you read any books by Josephus - it sounds just like CNN (except better written)

I think the existence of an 'administration' and an 'electorate' pretty much guarantees that they are doing something evil behind your back.

Happens everywhere. We were told by one government customer that they weren't happy about the ethnicity/religion of our receptionist.

Not telling us to fire them of course - just a 'friendly briefing' of their 'security concerns'

Same with the BCSA (British Computer Software Alliance) they do audits on your software licenses and then offer you 'membership' which includes special priced deals to handle any 'accidental licensing mistakes'
