The FBI is licking their chops over a pending appropriation of $1 Billion dollars to fund high-tech personal information and bio-metric identification access tools and compilation devices.

While I am not sure how I feel about the news above...I'm conflicted like most; wanting capable trustworthy and responsible organizations to have the tools they need to carry out their charge with competence vs. the danger of Feds run amok or undue influences.

I am reminded of a little bit of news in the early nineties about personnel in the White House having unauthorized access of FBI files...

Add the two together;

Hillary as President and the FBI with these enhanced information access tools and you have to pause and ponder the possibilities.

Scary thought, wc. I really wanted to vote for Hillary. I'm even in the "Women Who Wish They Liked Hillary" group on TBD. But, I didn't. There is just too much baggage and possible trouble associated with her that may leave her vulnerable and unable to tackle the mountainous task laying before the next president.

Unfortunately, we, as a nation and the world as a whole are not going to be able to stop this rolling snowball. Big Brother, Identity Theft, Privacy invasion are here to stay, because politicians (representing "We the People") keep legislating things that will protect us, leading only to more security measures, more loss of the privacy and freedoms that made or make this country great.

I keep getting snail mail from credit card companies offering more security and privacy on my accounts if I pay them more money! Why aren't they securing these accounts as a matter of good business practice? Why am I now asked to pay 'extra' for this? Anything for a buck!

I wouldn't vote for another Clinton if you held a gun to my head! We can't legitimately trust anything they do or say, and 4 years with Hillary is 4 more years with Bill. I've seen film of Bill walking and laughing in a funeral procession, but when he saw the cameras were focused on him, he immediately became solemn. He's a big fake! Hillary is an attorney and a politician, both which make 'acting' a new art form.

On the other hand, Republicans are opening up our borders to any and all, including free trade agreements, etc., leaving us more exposed to "global" repositioning and "selling" America to China and other countries. It will eventually get to where Americans no longer own America.

There, I feel better . . . peace out.
