Thanks, Qwest--hey, in the interest of getting rid of crime in my local
community here, why don't you just tap all phones? It's good for the
community, isn't it?

Folks, this privacy thing is absurd--these companies go online, and when
they see just how much data they can collect on their customers, they go hog
wild--they can't resist the power of information collecting, who cares about
privacy or civil liberties? That's their attitude, and it stinks.
