Are YOU Being Watched....?

Welcome back all you fellow bloggers... Asyou have all noticed that there have been changes around here. TBLOG has gotten a total makeover and in ways that is awesome. But of course with change especially in the cyber world comes confusion. And dislike. I don't like change on things like my blog etc. but I think I can pull through. So enough on the change of tblog. I will get to the topic at hand. Are YOU Being Watched? Do you think you could tell if you were being watched by your government or by the FBI? Do you think there is any way that you can tell? Many of you may be aware of the leak a few weeks ago that let the american public know that bush could be spying on you! Well that is if you are a terrorist suspect or are suspicious in general. They could read your emails tap your phone or I suppose put cameras up in your house while your not there. But I really don't think they would do the last one it just sounds well you know FBIish don't you think? Anyhow The government CAN spy on you if they suspect you to have links to terrorists are a terrorist or if you look like a terrorist. So basically if you look like a suicide bomber or well an iraqi you may be being watched. If you have friends from the middle east you may be being watched and if you sympathize with anyone from the middle east you may be being watched. Ok so I know not everyone is being watched. But it is an interesting concept. Personally I don't think it's the biggest deal out there. It is of course if you actually are a terrorist. And I suppose it would rather be unfortunate if you got taking to jail for talking to a friend from the middle east. But you know what? People should be watched. That is right you heard me people should be watched. We need to stop going on about "But I am entitled to my privacy". Because of that what we know now as society is crumbling. Because no one is being survellanced. Yes innocent people will be survellanced but if your innocent what do you care anyway? So what someone is going to read your email to your boyfriend who went on a trip. Big whoop. We need to take more time to make sure people arent threatening the general pop with things that are more important then privacy. Death. Corruption. Violence. But if you want your privacy well have fun with that and watch criminals roam free. I know that this can be taken to an extreme. I don't like the idea of a society where we are constantly survyed like in george orwells 1984. And I know I am bordering on the extreme bad side here but we need to stop whinning and complaining about our privacy. Privacy is important to a point but when you use it to make yourself important when it really doesnt mean a damn thing stop fighting for it! I would rather be alive and have people tapping my phone then dead because I refused to let them. So I know that this has been a rant slightly pro dictatership post but I don't care because I believe we need more restrictions on society the general pop just arent the brightest bulbs in the pack and all they want is their privacy regardless of the cost....

Because I am not doing anything wrong, I really don't mind if I were "being watched"
BUT
I would mind if they suddenly arrested me and whisked me away to a secret place and held me captive.
Then I would mind!
