Howdy Vorts,

Used to be plenty of snooping on the Dime Box Texas telephone system back 
when we used hand crank up auto-dialing features. Every snoop in town would 
lift up their phone and listen in to the most intimate conversations and 
latest gossip.

Can you imagine the size of the building outside D.C. that houses the main 
listening and recording devices that save all the chatter. The air time used 
by teens alone on their cell phones would simply overwhelm any recording 
device.. The Gob'ment ain't got a big enough recorder...and not enough 
people to sift through it.

Keep in mind what is important... more energy was expended stiffing Scooter 
Libby than a gazillion terror suspects.
Ah! D.C. Where no principle is so sacred that it can not be sacrificed for 
position, advantage or gain .. and .. where it is not as important to win as 
it is to make sure the other guy loses.

We fret over the unimportant, thinking the Gob'ment is important... only 
they think they are important. The purpose of Gob'ment is to create 
sufficent chaos to make people depend on themselves.
