Just a Little Worse -- Add Mail and Credit Cards

With all that is swirling around Washington these days, things seem to keep getting worse.  Tonight is no exception to the recent trend.  We have now learned that the Post Office photographs the front and back of all mail and that the NSA is also collecting credit card information as part of the PRISM project.

So, why is the bankrupt Post Office spending millions to photograph mail?  Do you really want a record kept of exactly who has sent you letters or to whom you mailed something?  And should the government really have a record of everything that you bought with a credit card over the last seven years? 

What will come next?  My guess is that we will soon learn that records are kept for all cell phones with GPS location systems so that the government knows where each such phone has been since it was first turned on.  Maybe the same will happen for cars with navigation systems. 

The reality is that the government seems to be keeping records of everything you do, everything you say, and soon everything you think.

Once I thought about things like: why such information is for free here? Because when you write a book then at least on selling a book you get a percentage. Thank you and good luc k on informing people more about it! http://www.airlinemilescreditcards.net
