Word of warning re: online speech and credit

How Your Online Life Can Mess With Your Credit - The Consumerist

Be aware that data-mining companies are constantly trying to create profiles and cross-link information.
Best to take it easy on the "grey area" stuff.

Credit, unfortunately, is able to be used nowadays to set consumer rates for auto insurance/etc. regardless of driving history.
(Oh yeah, with my posts I'm toast)

And no, it isn't the government influencing free speach based on affliations and habits:
It's corporations reporting to the quasi-privatized banking industry, which is supported directly by the Fed, which is suported by the taxpayers.

Get all the links? Good.

The only solution is to not play their game.

Cash is king.

Just think if Google decided to sell the information they have on you; they recorded every search from everyone, everwhere since they started!

Just imaging you could find out if someone had a dog, guns, when they were going on vacation, what type of electronics, stereo they had, if they had an alarm, etc.

There is no more privacy, and access to imformation is a double edged sword!

I don't use Google anymore, and don't even get me started on Facebook:
