These days, it's all about data. The current issue of Direct Marketing News is cover-to-cover content about data. Big data. CRM. Lead generation. Data. Data. And more data. No need to be nosey anymore. Just tap into a database. Like anything else, data itself isn't the problem. It's how it's used. Or more specifically, how it's misused.
Welcome to the new nuclear age. We used to fear the proliferation of nukes. Now we fear the proliferation of data. In fact, this and every other thread, post, and profile are part of a database.

This is not a whole lot different from what Dubya did. But it was bad back then and is bad right now. Once again "liberal" Obama comes out of the conservative closet. The longer he's in office the more disappointing he becomes.

When considering the alternative we could have had foisted upon us, the disappointment is somewhat mitigated. Yeah, this is not a good thing, but — and this can't be denied — we are paying the piper for technological progress.

While it has increased under Obama... it started in the Bush administration. This was a hole in the dyke that would only get bigger.... so I don't get the " "liberal" Obama comes out of the conservative closet." comment. ?? And since when was Obama "conservative"? Centrist more likely.

That's why I put "liberal" in quotation marks. I coulda said "socialist," I guess. I've never thought that Obama was liberal. And to my mind anyone to the right of my own tastes is a conservative troglodyte. So there.
