The Billion Dollar Book

Recently it was reported that certain monitors have been build with video and audio recording devices inside. So you can be recorded as to what you say and do. Also, for sometime now your surfing can be recorded so certain multi-national corporations can get profile of you for marketing purposes.

The companies that have made this, as well as politicians and liberals who support such surveillances justify this by saying, “This is used so companies can better market products to you.”

You see, although the government collects this information, they also sell it to large corporations.

How sweet.

The business justification for this monitoring of what you say in your own home and what web pages you go to is none of their business. If the situation was the same in another place, such collection of information would be illegal and could send the company representative to jail.

What do I mean by this?

Consider this, if you were at a mall and some person asked if you could fill out this form, saying, “This is to give us a better idea of what your needs are, bla, bla, bla.”

And you say “no”, and go on your way. No one takes offense to this. It happens to each of us probably dozens of times a year.

However, if this person asking you to fill out a form or answer some questions and you say “no”. Then this person tries to force you to give this information that company rep would be in a lot of trouble.

Do you see how hypocritical our laws are and how people are, too?

If someone wants to volunteer their information and give them answers to everything they ask for, including their medical history, that’s his/her decision. But when it is forced from you without your consent, this is wrong. But we have some kind of twisted thinking that if it’s in some form surveillance equipment or on a computer, it’s ok.

It is not ok, even if it’s the law. Most laws are sick, immoral and certainly un-Christian (perhaps “un” other religions, too).

For what purpose does it serve corporations to know what you said to your wife, or anything else that goes on in your home—including things that are very private? Nothing!

It’s time that the citizens do something about this.
