Now lots of religious folks think there's a sin in that. I can't understand why. It's just a natural part of being an animal. But back to the subject of governments. That new law is a good example of the fact that if you give a politician an inch, he'll take a mile.
Governments are like that.
It s just the nature of power. The worrisome thing is that if we don t watch out, the leverage that computers and the internet offer our governments might be enough to cost us our privacy and a good bit of the freedom we take so much for granted. Same thing goes for the big corporations. They also have a lot fewer statuatory limits on their actions. According to some people, privacy is a thing of the past.
