Nor are we on DU in the public domain with regard to our identities. We use pseudonyms like Cryptoad that we choose in order to protect our identities from public including government scrutiny and knowledge.
Our government has better things to do with the limited tax revenues it collects than collecting all the information we post on the internet. Really. What a waste!
The money could be spent on pre-school education. Did you know that the most important period for the development of a child's mind is not K-12, but pre-kindergarten. Perhaps really even the first moments and months of a baby's life?
And yet we do not even have paid maternity leave in the workplace or supported by the government in this country. No. What do we have - 24/24 internet surveillance. The most absurd waste of money I can think of. Even if they do catch a few terrorists, the waste of money does not justify it. We are neglecting our children so that we can fund a bunch of over-sexed young men sitting in a room reading our internet postings and priate e-mails. What a crazy scheme?
