OT <<Scary Stuff - Sounds like our privacy is worth a penny>> That is the very ugly part about the whole thing with President Clinton, Privacy. It may all be well & good for us to say "Public officials have decided to be in the public eye" but do we like it when it happens to us daily? The whole thing about background checks & pee in the cup & every other way someone is allowed to butt into our private lives has gone to far. The Democrats and the Republicans have both helped take away our last shred of privacy and in some coming election they will also have to pay with their jobs. "They" are just now coming under the same microscope we may be under each and every day, and "they" don't like it. How can "They" justify knowing everything about everyone of us in a free nation while expecting any special consideration? How dare they decry anything situation as other than a free and open market while determining what will & will not be a profitable investment? How dare the Federal Reserve continue to rail against the undercover socialism of the broad stock market while manipulating gold (AND SILVER) in the shadows? If they had any interest in making the situation "fair & just", they would "throw us a bone in the form of higher silver to offset gold manipulations.

Missed that article..... That's mighty ugly. And one hell of a way for a state agency to try to make a buck or two. One of the many abuses of power that need to be corrected.. and thank god we have a media that continues to bring pressure, embarrassment, and corrective action on these idiots who violate our rights. Did you read about the guy in the DC gov't who was fired (he resigned, but he was asked to leave) for uttering the word "niggardly" with regard to how certain budgetary matters were being handled?? He was in the company of an black woman who OBVIOUSLY didn't even understand the widely known meaning or origin of the word. The departing official was white. I really hate this racist BS that is twisted to extend the interests of political feuds. Btw, niggardly equates to "miserly" and is some 400+ years old. It has a Scandinavian origin according to linguistic "experts". Regards, Ron Regards, Ron
