Poll question: Poll: Has NSA spying news altered your phone, email, or sufing habits?
Recent news has revealed that secret government agencies are illegally spying on "reasonably suspicious" American citizens like you without a warrant.

Now that you know that your every telephone call, email message you send, and every web page you visit is being recorded, have you changed your use of these media?

2. SIgh! I guess I'll have to stop looking at porn..
Good-Bye, my favorite sites:

"Ann Coulter After Dark" (though she does look better IN the dark) :scared:

"Jean Schmidt's Barnyard Friends" ("Squeal like a pig, Jeannie")

"Conda-Sleazy Rice.com"

Guess it's back to the old National Geographics. :(

8. Yes Exactly
If they are spying on us..
lets beat the bushes (so to speak)
and flush em out...

(and even humor them once in awhile...
after all they ARE govt employees with a lot of
the same gripes against the Bush reich as we all do)

hiya agent mike !!!

7. I post a bit more openly
Since they're already watching me, I'm more open about saying, "F*CK you NSA!" "F*ck you BUSH!" It's an opportunity to tell these assholes that are listening and reading my stuff, exactly what I think of them. I believe there are even more people now being open about these fascists. The other day I heard a very nice lady caller tell Randi Rhodes that she'd called the president's message line and left a message for Bush with a very nice woman. Her message to Bush was, "Step down." She gave her the reasons. Many people are being more open now than ever. Some people are tired of these fascists, some people are in disbelief at what these * are doing to our country, and most people with a brain are speaking out.

10. Why yes it most certainly has
but I didn't see a choice for me in your poll - how I have changed is every few minutes I say did you hear that NSA - or are you listening NSA - if you are I think the GW Bush is a freaking criminal and he should be in prison along with his entire administration. Did you get that - are you listening blah blah blah

Ran into a friend tonight at a meeting and he told me that every once in a while he'll say terrorist or Osama or some other phrase....I was hoping if enough of us put shit in our emails or phone calls that it might just overload their computers but I heard some expert say that they have so much computer power it would never happen - nice thought though

11. I've added the following tag to my emails:
NOTICE: Due to Presidential Executive Orders, the National Security Agency may have read this email without warning, warrant, or notice. They may do this without any judicial or legislative oversight. You have no recourse nor protection save to call for the impeachment of the current President.

22. No change...but
my son bought a Koran at Borders the other day (he's curious about everything --Buddhisim, Hindusim, Kabbala {sp.?})
and I admit I was relieved he'd paid cash.
