This blog posting and it's accompanying request in the last paragraph is a bit scary to me.
To suggest that people should forward any email that seems "fishy" (their word, not mine)to the White House seems odd. What does "fishy" mean? Does it mean something with which you don't agree? Does it mean something that is partisan? Does it mean something that is mean spirited? While that is being sorted out, what is happening to all of those email and IP addresses? What exactly is the White House going to do with that info? Is this the new 21st century version of an enemies list?
Hold it. Why am I worried? This is the government we are talking about. These are the same people that sent me letters requesting tax returns for my mother 3 straight years after she had died. If they can't keep track of dead people, how in the hell are they going to keep track of the live ones?
I'll address more about this later. In the meantime, I have to be fitted for a new tin-foil hat.
