[or-roots] YOUR PHONE NUMBER

[CKlooster at aol.com]

Well, here's an idea...fill out the removal form and remove all your  friends 
and neighbors!
 
I looked at my information and found that I'm living about fifty miles from  
the nearest community...smack in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness.  I  
know that my village is pretty remote, but this program has some obvious  
limitations because it places my residence far away from where it actually  is.  I 
also looked at some rural Oregon family phone numbers and see that  those 
residences are also way off on map quest et al.  So I guess the plan  to preserve 
privacy should involve moving to Alaska or some other part of rural  America.  
The only problem with that is that small town/rural living  insures that you 
have zero privacy...EVERYBODY knows where you are and what you  are doing at any 
given moment.
 
For the really paranoid among us, consider the new cell phone technology  
that allows them to pinpoint exactly where you are at any given moment.   The 911 
gene is ostensibly to allow you to be located with a 911 call...but  think of 
all the more sinister possibilities.  On the other hand, your  descendents 
may not only be able to locate you on the family tree, they may be  able to 
download a complete catalog of your daily movements!  Welcome to  the Brave New 
World.
