What would happen . . . (http://election.democraticunderground.com/10023017919)
 
If we the people went on a privacy strike? Refused to use our cellphones, refused to use "loyalty cards" at stores (my sister and I won't give out our email addresses, much to the annoyance of store clerks  ), abandon FaceBook, and otherwise rebel -- if only for a short time -- against our personal information being using bought and sold like merchandise, and being spied on.

Please...you've been spied upon by marketers for decades. 

Try another "Not one more damn dime day" instead.

Big Brother will not be happy when he sees your post. Do you remember what happened to Winston and Julia?

OMG... you want to go back to the 1880s?  You stupid racist pig.

I must have at least a hundred non-registered grocery cards. Ask for them at the checkout to get the deal and never send in the paper work.

If the DUmmy Nation were forced to spend a full day with no cell phones and no Facebook, there'd be a lot of suicides.

It sounds like a good idea.

If they were REALLY worried about unfriendly eyes watching them, they would stop posting at DU...
Just sayin.

My question is, if you are so concerned about being spied on why would you a) Need to form a "strike" to support you in your boycott, and b) post about it on a public website?

Who? :confused:

I saw a couple of doubleplusungood nameless traitors to the state shot during Hate Week last week. Is that who you're talking about?

BTW: did you see that Big Brutha has increased the choom ration from 25g to 20g per week? Oh, and I hear there's an opening for a new newsperson at MinTru.

Those of us not concerned about the latest "reality show" would be able to make a call?  Bloody damn idiot.
