Redefining our language. Another Notch.

According to Donald Kerr, principal deputy director of national intelligence, privacy should be redefined in America.
He continues by saying that:” Privacy no longer can mean anonymity“ “..Instead, it should mean that government and businesses properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information.”

Now, all together! BIG LAUGH HERE!
Government and businesses properly safeguarding our private communications and financial information? Ha!
Once again, Ha!

With an Administration just a step behind of dictatorial powers and the seemingly unchecked access to all kinds of information regarding our lives, from credit records to our personal purchasing habits and everything in between, the idea of “redefining” privacy is nothing but an attempt to place a legal blanket stamp to justify what’s already being done without our knowledge, and more.

Anyone who receives unsolicited junk mail or faxes understands that “someone, somewhere” must have shared our address or phone number. That’s abuse 101.
We all know (if not you should) that banks or others financial institutions are not precisely fighting the government agencies to protect our privacy there.

The list of places where we’ve lost our right to be left alone is extensive and more or less we got used to the idea that not everything that should be kept private really remains that way. We don’t need to redefine privacy. Privacy is just that. We should have the right not to share information we don’t want to be public.
The new trend in government seems to be: “If it doesn’t fit, MAKE IT FIT!”

Fortunately, the vast majority of the public, having suffered through six years of distorted wording and constant adaptations of the English language to create a false reality, will not be fooled into thinking that we must change the definition of our privacy.
The problem may be with those in charge of passing laws. Do they have what it takes to represent us? I’m not quite sure.
