So, what can we do to keep our information out of the hands of anyone,
including the gov't, that we don't trust with that knowledge? Now that
we know that they're going to spy on us, or at least someone is going to
spy on us.

Move to a backwards country that has a lack of technology.

Realize that in the US, this generations introduction to The Database most
likely started with establishing your SSN. From there its all downhill.
Since I am not of this generation, I dont have firsthand info on how one
initially gets added to The System, but I can imagine thats a good start.

I bought cigarettes for a pal of mine once at a 7/11. The cashier asked
for my drivers license, I presumed to check my age.
Ok, cool. I hand it over.
TO LOOK AT.
He swipes it through the card reader, and now, someplace, I am surely
labelled as a smoker. Further consolidation of databases occurs as info
is brokered from one firm to another... and you should be able to draw
your own conclusion with this.

Whatever, feel free to email me your credit card info or SSN info, or any
other private information if you happen to trust me more than any
government -- my point being, why trust -any- entity with your personal
information, or any entities ability to snoop on you.

I rather give more attention to the crafty inspired 'net criminals, dumpster
diving tweakers in my alley, or anyone who can strangle a penny from a
million 'live' positives that a sale of a database can provide. Thats a lot
more immediate to me.

Regardless of who or what is spying on you, as some will obsess upon ad
nauseum here, I will finally bring this thread to some semblance of
on-topicness:

If using technology, encrypt.
If your technology does not support it, dont use it.
