We're basically under assault from all directions. The bozos in Congress and state governments are spinning out new laws and obscure regulations faster than we can react...and of course they're using our money to generate these laws and lobby for them. Further, a mostly-brainwashed Washington media population is surprising uncritical of these blizzard drifts of new laws.
Hmmm... Do I get counted in the "mostly-brainwashed" category? FYI, here are two bills that Feinstein introduced recently: S. 504. Children's Privacy Protection and Parental Empowerment Act of 1997. Prohibits the sale of personal information about children without their parents' consent. Introduced by Feinstein (D-CA) on 3/20/97. Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. S. 600. Personal Information Privacy Act of 1997. Amends FCRA to prohibit sale on non-public information, prohibits use of SSN as ID number, limits use of SSN on drivers liscenses. Introduced by Feinstein (D-CA) on 4/16/97. Referred to the Committee on Finance. -Declan
