well just remember, not everyone is as empassioned as urself on this or other matters
something u have to accept & tolerate = there will be fence sitters!

fence sitting IS ok as long as it does not engender apethy :roll:

it can be a very strategic stance in certain circumstances . . .

It's also very opportunistic, u sit back let them struggle then fall on the winning side...

cept in this instance, imo, one MUST NOT fence sit when it involves the very core fundamental, privacy!

procrastination may determine an unfavourable result
simply put, it is too late to cry "wolf" after the flock has been "raped"



that said, there is not really a lot one can do to stay "outside the system"
friends that have tried have only managed to last about 15 years in thier state of "incognito" and non-existence

not that i am advocating a course of action :roll:

but for that to be the case u would have to deem said situation as a war, and i dont...i understand the risks of using the internet and i still use it and take that risk.

i have far greater concerns in my personal life and the world in general than google recording my shopping habits simply doesnt concern me.

Moreover, the mere fact that there are ppl that do grant these issues with such high attention saddens me because they seem blind to the more threatening issues at hand in the world.
