Newspaper Takes Down Map of Gun Permit Holders

[Cynicus Emeritus]

109. Should I thank you or was it meant with a dose of sarcasm?

The right to privacy is fundamental to a democratic society and quality of life. It is a concept that rises above political ideology. Unfortunately in two generations the people will have lost the concept of being able to live a life in relative anonymity if they wish, or go here or there without someone knowing, or having a corporate Google drone watching or recording your family, friends and what you have.

Mark Suckerberg once stated that the purpose of Facebook was to condition the masses to the concept that privacy should become a lost privilege. People behave better when they are watched. Corporations (like Gannett Co and Journal News) want the right to profit off of your life, your friends, your interests, your photos, and mostly your loss of your privacy, and this loss applies mostly to the "under class", and not the ruling over-class.
