"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)
I think anyone who's spent time in political chatrooms over the past dozen or so years knows that this has been standard operating procedure. It's interesting that someone within the governmental structure is copping to it. I guess that, armed with Patriot Act provisions, they figure they can trample our privacy rights in plain view.
This was one of those posts in which I was just in awe of the absurdity of the notion and the sheer waste of energies... money going down the toilet as the teachers in my state prepare to go on strike b/c they only received a 1% raise while at the same time their health insurance premiums were raised by an average of $3,000.
