However, honestly I don’t think there is much that can be done to halt its inevitable encroachment on our lives. At best I think its people of my generation that have managed to slow it down but, I think the war will be lost. Selling an ever increasing invasion of privacy gets easier all the time. The younger folks don’t seem to mind a bit. A good example are facebook and twitter. They fill these sites with there personal information willingly and think nothing of it. They aren’t growing up with the freedoms of the past and they don’t miss it. Whether Obama is elected or not it sure looks to me like this country is eventually going to try out socialism. Of course we know it is a geopolitical system that has never worked in the history of the world but, those coming up behind us don’t seem to know or care. They are going to lose a lot of freedoms and government surveillance resulting in a ever increasing invasion of privacy is just one.
