I received a link to this ACLU movie illustrating the perils of data collection (17 January 2005, 8:54 PM).

My response follows (22 Jan 2005 10:06 AM):

This movie clearly illustrates the inevitable mischief in a world where profit is the highest good, and government favors corporations rather than citizens. Strict constructionists will grumble that the word "privacy" does not appear in the Constitution and free-market fundamentalists will whine about potential restrictions on their "economic liberty," but that doesn't mean we shouldn't search for a solution to protect our personal privacy.

Since you recognize the ACLU's role in drawing attention to this dystopian future, I hope this means that you disagree with Bill O'Reilly's opinion that the ACLU is a "fascist organization" that is "the most dangerous organization in the United States of America right now...second next to Al Qaeda."
