Bottom line: Privacy statements are basically letting you know you don't have any.
I'm sure there is a master computer somewhere that knows when I stopped buying cigarettes,
what I put in my coffee, how much gas I use a month, what I read and what size I wear.
Yet for my last hospitalization no less than six people asked me who my primary physician was.
(Same one for 15 years and I'd been in this hospital twice before.)
And every visit to the doctor the same nurse asks me what medications I'm taking and how much.
We're getting all the handicaps of the information age ... without the benefits.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
