In general, I am sick and tired of my every move being watched by someone. Every mundane activity I do in life is tracked and distributed to some other organisation "in order to better serve me". My fucking backside it's better to serve me. I now only shop in stores that do not require a "club card" that identifies me. I think this is an outrageous invasion of privacy and should be made illegal. Because I am not a member of their dopey "club" they have the right to rip me off ?!! Fuck them, stand at the check out and ask for the manager. I did this frequently, all they do is run a generic card to give you the  "discount" anyway. If Radio Shack, Toys r Us, Best Buy whoever ask me for a phone number, zip code or address I tell them nowt. When did life become so complicated ? Why has it become so difficult to just play a fucking CD, watch a movie or buy a six pack of beer without some bastard taking a note of it ?

in my state they put a barcode on the back of drivers licenses and everytime you purchase cigarettes or beer they know. and the worse part is you cant stockpile weapons*for protection* , but you still can carry a firearm on the street.

Zero Cool:
Right On!!! Do they really expect you to even carry all those stupid cards too? Fuck them. It seems like everyday your name is being passed thru a computer like 17 times without you even knowing it.

In this day and age your no longer identified as a individual, your just another number. I told myself lately that if we didn't have computers then problems like this wouldn't occur. But then i would miss my red hat! Just imagine the future where everything is done with one card. Your banking, shopping and much more. They thought of that scares me!

In the end who are we? Just another victim of the corporate world such as microsoft. Either way, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. DOWN WITH MICROSOFT!
