Hi, Daniel, welcome to the Feelings thread. This place is a strange mixture of political belief systems, and I'm sure you will find several people here who agree with you! What does your company publish, if I may ask?

Daniel, Fair enough. I just do not like private lawsuits derailing our top leaders' activities regardless of whether they are Democrats or Republicans.... With computers with which to process data rapidly, and credit card/phone information and a wiretap or two, one can construct at any given time a pretty good picture of what any given individual is up to in our society FWIW... Some loonies deserve constant surveillance (like certain Middle Eastern fringe groups active in the US and major militia leaders and a few drug dealers)- but after that point-where do you draw the line on wiretaps? Want to bet a dollar on whether anyone else besides Ms. Tripp or Lewinsky was walking around the Whitehouse carrying a wire of late??? To me it makes frank conversation more difficult if you are worrying about being recorded. Since the FBI shouldered the blame for Waco and Ruby Ridge, fairly or unfairly, I cannot beleive that they would particularly object to sending in a wired person, or doing a wiretap or two if requested by a Special Prosecutor backed by a Grand Jury since they do not see many friends for their agency amongst the current leadership- just a hunch from a former insider....What goes around comes around- or put in biblical terms as you sow, shall you reap..... Sincerely, Doug F.
