Well, they're doing it with kids in Japan. They feel the benefits outweight the costs. Is it socially lazy though, to do that with children in any culture?
As far as the Patriot Act, I'm still taking that one piece by piece. I honestly think it is the most complicated piece of legislation in the history of the United States (that got passed).
I think both acts really suck. :mad:

In my personal opinion the PA is a bunch of Bull. It has so many ways to invade a person's privacy, whether in the US or out of the US... Dont they have ECHELON to do that? The US -government- is anti-privacy... and they do it all in the name of "anti-terrorism"....
Everyone is...from governments to credit card companies. It's not due to some big brother bullshit that privacy advocates love to throw out.Quote:

Outside of totalitarian governments few democracies want to monitor the entire populace...it's tood difficult and too innacurate. Manipulation and cohersion is MUCH easier and cheaper. Besides like I stated in my Big Brother thread...we do more to harm our own personal privacy than ANY government.
