I strictly don't give a fuck about this sort of thing, because I don't do anything illegal.

*shrugs*

So... Any law that doesn't affect you doesn't matter, no matter what the premise?

This law doesn't affect me or anyone around me.

Unless Stephen Harper has tricks up his sleeves...

Anyway, oh no, more wire tap, invading privacy, damn Bush, screw Cheney, global warming, war in Iraq, blah blah blah beating the same point over and over.

So... Doing multiple wrong things somehow makes each one of them less severe?

Maybe if you're looking at them in comparison to one another, but in the long run... No.

Finally, somebody understands.

Sure, something that doesn't matter to you may not matter yet, but when they're able to take liberty by liberty away, we're going to end up in one scary nation soon, under the guise of "Protecting us from terrorists."

I'm so glad Real ID failed.

	While I do agree that having some 50 styles of driver's license in the country is pointless.... There are far better and less invasive ways to go about it. ____________________ Links: Eon Hacks, Eon Wiki, Eon Blog, Eon Forums More commonly known as theclaw.

Somehow, I'm unsure if this will pass the House. Even so... these wiretaps won't go away until the Bush Administration and the remaining pro-Bush senators do. ____________________

Yeah, sure, protecting people from terrorists. That's bullshit.

In the near future, they'll be worse than terrorists. I already had plans to move (even if I'm in Canada), but what the hell? Don't these people have any brains left or any sense of justice or whatever you want to call it.

Democrats control the Senate. Some of them had to have agreed to this. It's not just about one party or administration; it's the entire government that's fucked up.

I now direct you to this.

To download a document, it is necessary to log into SSRN. If not a registered member, click the link for free registration.

But anyway, here's a summary of what I'm guessing it said, and the single point that destroys the "nothing to hide" argument:

Yes, you do have something to hide. Maybe it's not something illegal. Maybe it's something embarrassing or perverted. Maybe it's just your password or something you don't want people to know about yet. But there is something.

I really can't believe how common that argument is.

Since that's just an alternate wording of the "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" argument, I found an amusing counterpoint on Something Awful's forum (not registered, but I read over it once in a while)

Anyone who believes this phrase should post their credit card details in this thread.

Illegal or not, we all have things we don't want others to know, and we've got damn good reasons for some of them.

Yeah, the whole "Nothing to hide," argument really irritates me. I know a few people that have used it, but the don't really understand the implications of this..

Especially Real ID, which tracks a lot of information about you.

I don't masturbate, do drugs, own anything illegal, and have, in my lifetime, downloaded a total of 3 copywritten pieces of media.

*yawns*

I doubt the government would use my AIM password against me, and the only thing I have that I keep secret (my social security number) they already know, don't they?

I think I fall into an odd little exception to the rule.

Either you always get the worst luck at having problems no one else has, or you can try a different mirror :p
