billvon 3,120 #3 January 9, 2006 >One man's privacy is not worth the security of this nation. Security is more important than freedom? Much of the constitution goes out the window, then. The constitution hampers the government when it wants to do things to you; getting rid of it would allow more intrusion into your life and greater safety from perceived threats. And who really cares about the constitution, anyway? It's not like anyone has sworn to protect it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #5 January 9, 2006 QuoteGoodman is no stranger to mail snooping; as an officer during World War II he was responsible for reading all outgoing mail of the men in his command and censoring any passages that might provide clues as to his unit’s position. “But we didn’t do it as clumsily as they’ve done it, I can tell you that,” Goodman noted, with no small amount of irony in his voice. “Isn’t it funny that this doesn’t appear to be any kind of surreptitious effort here,” he said. Funny, he seems to be upset that they weren't more secretive about it. They were very upfront about it even. Guess it's only ok if done "surreptitiously" Funny also that this individual knows all about violating people security. This reads suspiciously in any case. Here's a guy with an axe so bad he can't just get the story published, he has to also speaks to how bad they are at it (in his opinion). Wonder what this prof's politics are really? I can't tell if he's against it, or just against 'how' they did it. In my case, reading people's mail without warrants, etc is just completely out of line. Did they get a warrant? Anyway, if true and that he's implying is true, this sucks and is a terrible thing. And is certainly much more than a 'baby' step. ...

unformed 0 #7 January 10, 2006 Ok, I don't agree at all with what I said ... but, I know full well there are others that believe it, BUT ... they'll say it in different words that'll change the subject ... "for example, if you're not doing anything illegal, you don't have to worry about it, right?" so I had to go ahead and say it just like i did.This ad space for sale.

NWFlyer 2 #11 January 10, 2006 Ever-topical (even though the shows are produced months in advance), Marge Simpson even addressed this issue in this week's episode (which I happened to be watching tonight while I read this thread). "Lisa, I'm not sure that letter is age-appropriate reading. Why can't the government edit our mail like other countries?""There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
