Thanks for the laugh. You've a great sense of humor and know how to use it.
Back on topic. I appreciate people posting warnings about the misuse of personal information. It serves us well. Thank you. I too will be mindful not to contribute to the continued invasion of privacy.

It was only funny because it was untrue Hoot. People think every story I tell in embelished or downright untrue but in reality all my stories are true. I don't read fiction and I certainly don't write it. I have no use for it.
I've been keepin in real for 50 years, and i'm not about to change now

Maybe one reason why crime is down?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Watching people everywhere they go and tracking everything they do- that's called a police state.
A police state is very effective- ask Hitler.
We are living in one now- the question is- is it the way Americans want to live? Is that how you want your kids to have to live?
It all comes at the expense of freedom and liberty- are you willing to give that away?
Not me.
I'm willing to go along with outlawing Cameras in stores..So they lose a little money to shoplifters, who cares? I certainly don't, but corporate interest run everything so it will never happen.

We got a letter a few months back from our retail credit service provider that soon we could start seeing machines that require not only the credit card but also sliding the drivers license.
Too many stolen cards and other scams are causing this to happen.
I doubt we will be using cash in 20 years...Then the banks will hold all the cards and can turn you off at any time..When your debit card stops working, you're done..We will have to establish some new rights in the constitution in this regaurd- or be at the mercy of the banksters..Of course republicans will fight that because its called regulation and it overburdens the poor Bankers...
