DATABASES

First off, I don't believe anything the main stream media says anymore. Thanks to fuel tanks on fords, forged documents and 10,ooo body bags needed anytime a disaster looms or a war starts. As for this database, the police have db's too, this helps them fight crime, do you not want the police to have a database of say... sex offenders, murders, cold cases, cases solved. Target, Toys R Us, Wal Mart, Food Worls WD all have customer databases to help the track customers buying habits. This too is useful. As far as the P{entagon having a "secret" database to help fight terrorism, more power to em.

Well, there's media and there's the National Enquirer. As for databases, yes lots of organizations have them and you DO have an option on whether to be on their list or not, you can request your name be taken off their list. As for the police, its a crime fighting tool and neccessary for public safety, but for the Government to have groups on their list that no more pose a threat to national security than my cat, then that's going a bit too far. What's next, cameras in our homes, wiretapes on our phones, are we no longer allowed any sense of privacy? And we thought that the U.S.S.R. had gone to far. I guess Orwell was right in his prediction, he only missed it by 20 yrs.
