X-Men more realist than Bible

Letter to the Editor

I don't understand why everyone is so worked up over fiction these days. The movie "The Da Vinci Code" is a work of fiction. It's a fictional story about the Bible which is also a fictional story about fictional characters like God and Jesus. None of this is real. I haven't seen people so worked up over a movie since we found out that Darth Vader was Luke Skywalker's father in Star Wars! Will I watch the movie? Probably not. I think I'll wait for the X-Men movie because the characters are more realistic.

After tapping the Phone Compaines, what's next? Microsoft Windows and Apple OS-X

Letter to the Editor

Now that we know that Bush has been tracking every phone call made by every person in the United States, or at least those made by AT&T and Verizon customers it makes you wonder what's next? Has Microsoft or Apple collaborated with the NSA to plant spy software into Windows or Apple OS-X? Are they tracking everything we do online? That would be the next logical step in the progression of illegal spying. So I would ask Apple and Microsoft, hopefully before the fact, if they intend to cooperate with the NSA to illegally tap our computers?

I'm trying to bring up computer tapping BEFORE it happens, assuming that it hasn't already happened. I think we need to go after this proactively and put pressure on corporations BEFORE the NSA forces them to sell out and spy on us.
