Homestead mailing list

   IMO, it started with something as simple as sharing mailing lists for
gardening catalogs and there is really no end in sight.  I respect that
you don't believe it will go as far as I think it will, and for you
personally, you may fare better than the average Joe because of where
you live and how you live...you are probably outside of that 100 miles
> from the coast/border thing, too.

I do care about important infringements, but I can't get too worked up about 
"they might" or "they can", when there is no proof that they ARE doing it. 
As I said in another post, my grocery store's website swears that they never 
share (give or sell) customer information from the Wildcard.

My point was that some people are so afraid that 'they' are collecting 
information and can "get" them, that they won't even spell out Patriot Act 
in an email, let alone fight against it (I don't mean to pick on you, Bob, 
but you are the most obvious). Once we lose freedom of speech, whether 
through laws or fear of government reprisal, they've got us where they want 
us..

Today I sent more emails to all my reps telling them that I don't want 
uniformed military acting (againt federal law) inside the US. I also gave 
them my opinion of Homeland Security, and how it is taking away personal 
liberties and shouldn't be backed up by armed military. Watching for black 
helpcopters.....
