RE: Personal Privacy issues

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Just because you are at odds with the law doesn't give you the right to
violate it.  For example, there is a stretch I travel in which there is a
lengthy 25mph zone in which I feel 45, or a compromise of 35 might be
better.  If I feel at odds with this I have choices.
1)  Use an alternative route.
2)  Discover the legal process to get this changed.
3)  Accept it and obey.
4)  Violate the law.

If I choose 4, then I have no right to complain, after the fact, if I am
caught.

For the sake of peace I have accepted this process.  This doesn't mean I
choose option 3 all the time.  This means I accept the choices.  Failure to
accept this process leads to anarchy and violence.  For example, the
abortion issue.  If you are a strict prolifer than you might believe that
killing a few abortionists may be the viable alternative to the deaths of
thousands of innocents.  However, if you abide by the process then you can
avoid the violence involved with civil war.  Acceptance of this process is
what helps to differ countries like the US and Afghanistan.

Gee, can I get anymore off topic?

This, according to a post from Janet Krueger, isn't safe either.
Personally, I have an expectation of privacy when I send an e-mail using
Yahoo but the PC I used to access the internet happened to be in my office.
If there is a policy that prohibits my use of the company's internet access
to access my Yahoo mail, then I would be guilty of that.  But I did not
forfeit my right to privacy of the content of the transmission.  All that I
forfeited was the privacy of the transmission (ie not the content).

I may be at odds with current law, or interpretation.  If so, the current
law or interpretation is wrong and needs fixed (IMO).  Probably also varies
widely based on state.  I'd like to hear what the situation is from someone
in California.

Phil
