From TechRepublic Public officials and private lives Author : Chad Perrin Bill Clinton signed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act into law during his Presidency, laying the groundwork for innumerable violations of personal privacy in the United States by organizations like the RIAA and BSA over the following decade.

Sometimes, I believe we rely too heavily on government intervention to solve all our problems. TANF, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, Wic, public school systems and government bailouts of private banks and corporations. Doesn’t this in some ways take away from our creativity to solve the problem on our own? Jefferson said “Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition [theirs].” I believe it does because we know that the government is going to step in and guide things.

Hi, my name is ~W~ Neil and I am building samples of free web pages so my friends and guests can see what the free web page providers have to offer.

My sister has been drug into the computer age with a text phone and a Facebook page. I was asked to help catch her up. The first thing to know is There is no such thing as anonymous anything on the internet! I recommend never using your real name or listing relationships unless there is a good reason. Absolutely no real addresses in the profile boxes. Do not tell people where you live, work or hang out. IT IS DANGEROUS! PEOPLE HAVE DIED! TAKE NO CHANCES!!!! By clicking ‘I am related to this person’ type boxes any visitors to your children's web pages may now know mother’s maiden name type of information. This can be used for everything from stealing identity to picking up your children without ...

You may have heard in the news that a couple of Post Offices in Texas have been forced to take down small posters that say 'IN GOD WE TRUST ,' The law, they say, is being violated. Anyway, we heard proposed on a radio station show, that we should all write ' IN GOD WE TRUST' on the back of all our mail. After all, that's our National Motto, and ----- all the money we use to buy stamps. We think it's a wonderful idea. We must take back our nation from all the people who think that anything that offends them should be removed. If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT. The idea of writing or stamping......... 'IN GOD WE ...>
