once in awhile i read something on someone's site
that just knocks me off my tuchas
that happened this morning when i perused the great
nancy aka jillmatrix aka matrixland on my linkie love list dears
shes going off on her personal freedoms
stripped away in her everyday life
here's just a few snippets but go read her for yourself
the chick rocks
nancy FYI is also part of the dynamic duo that run Queerday

she says..

When I was a kid, they told us this was the best country in the world because here you were free to believe what you wanted and say what you thought. Other countries were totalitarian places where the people were watched at all times because their own governments were afraid of them.

I have an ordinary life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There is nothing remarkable about me. On an average weekday, I'm on a security camera on the bus, in the lobby and in the elevator of my building, and I'm not sure where else within my actual office. I pass through two checkpoints to get into my office, and I don't work at the CIA.

If I use my debit card to pay for my bus tickets, the police can trace where I went and when from the bar codes on the tickets.

They might subpoena a list of the movies I rented or the books I checked out of the library. Or they could just hit TiVo with a court order and see what I've watched and recorded for the last two years. My VoIP company can probably provide you with sound files of my voicemail, if you're interested, not to mention a recap of everyone I've called and been called by.

go read the rest at Matrixland
