Terry, Par for the course I'm afraid...it IS a Brave New World...have you read "Brave New World Revisited"? Huxley takes another look at developments since the original book...definately right on, and scarier, and very pertinent to the here, now, and future...IMO. Bert

"she said "I don't mind giving up a little on the privacy issue for a little more security."" Why is that surprising. We have all given up our privacy for reasons that have nothing to do with our safety and the liberals who are crying now don't even acknowledge it. e.g. 1. SSN numbers so that govt. can collect taxes from us. 2. Incredible amount of information govt. collects about us in the census. 3. What could be more intrusive than filling out income tax returns, and other government required forms. 4. Gun Registration. These are just a few quick examples that come to mind and I am sure others can suggest other examples. It seems liberals only object to government intrusiveness when it adversely affects the criminal class or when the rationale is national defense or security. If it empowers the government to invade the privacy of the average law abiding citizen they not only don't object they actively support the invasion of our privacy. Little joe
