RE: A Matter of Semantics

Michelle has always been something of a Kool-aid-drinker, at least where the war on terror is concerned. She bought the WMD argument, she bought the "exporting democracy" argument, and she bought the purple-finger show. She has also remained disturbingly quiet on the whole subject of Bush's expansion of government and socialist policies.

I wouldn't say Michelle is a Kool-aid drinker... She agrees with Bush on some things; she disagrees with Bush on other things. Her expertise is writing about terrorism and immigration, so that's probably why she doesn't write about domestic fiscal policy.

Let's see, the government is collecting information on you and your personal habits without your consent, and until now, without your knowledge. I have no idea what else you would call it.

I don't consider the info they are gathering as personal because the info they are getting don't have names & addresses connected to the phone numbers. Besides, the info they are getting isn't something we own anyway. The info belongs to the phone companies.
