1. use of choicePoint data to drive the 2000 and 2004 voter purges
   
2. firing of US attorneys for not being with the purge program
   
3. MORE surveillance and data mining you know "for kids" .. I mean, to protect us from the bad people who hate us for our freedom.

2. mine the data to find out when you're on vacation
   
3. send a registered letter while yr gone
   
4. go to a hand-picked-and installed-under-patriot-act-rules judge and take away yr bleeding-heart commie-scum vote

this upsets me. she has approximately no coping skills. I mean, jesus fuck, what happens if anything genuinely bad is happening and we have to deal with it?
