but not being fine with it doesn't mean it is as menacing as high fat foods or an invention of the Bush administration. In the real world when information is needed someone usually figures out how to get it legally if not totally ethically.
In a free society we are limited in what we can make illegal by our ability to enforce and to avoid the paradox of creating a police state to prevent a police state.
Good for Qwest if they stopped it this time and good luck next time.
Shit happens, always has, always will. You can let it drive you nuts or learn not to worry about things that have little effect on your life and are totally outside any personal control beyond your own committment to not divulge information on anyone, to anyone unless required by law, in writing, in the presence of an attorney.
If that doesn't suit you, make it your lifes work to stop it and pass the torch on to your kids when you expire.
