    A guy at Xenforo let me know, Firefox now sucks, as I was starting to suspect, and the recommended Chrome, from Google.

    Google sucks. They have a lot of people living large on secret bucks given to them by Uncle Sam to spy on you and me. The people who do this justify their actions on the grounds they are making us safe. Bullshit, they are rationalizing their incomes. The money is unreported, because anti-terrorists laws make it a crime to disclose when Uncle Sam makes an offer that cannot be refused to help him eaves drop, an offer made quite palatable by the fact that payment is with a blank check signed by the government handed over to the company to justify in terms that are not exposed to public scrutiny.

    Uncle Sam reads all our email,records all our phone calls, and unlike me, it reads and listens to them all, every single one of them. This used to be a guess. Now its a proven fact. What changed? Edward Snowden released documents with all the missing puzzle pieces needed to transform foil-hatted paranoia into you-gotta-be-retarded-to-think-it-might-not-be-true.

    I noticed the arrow doesn't point to medical information, but maybe it should. I know for a fact that when I email my family about my dad's condition that ads pop up on the side with offers based on the content of my email.
    It's really creepy, but my family isn't hip to Hushmail.

    The worst part of it might be the people themselves though--who tell me that if I'm not doing anything wrong I shouldn't be worried about it. I don't even know where to start with that. I'd bring up the Constitution, but my explanations are met with, "That old thing? Who needs something written by slave owners?"

    This is probably why lately my favorite thing to write about is the devolution of our planet into dystopia. That'll show 'em.

    I will have to see what's up with Firefox. They talk a good game about privacy and all, but apparently they're not taking it too seriously.

    You crack me up.
    Except, on second thought, this is no longer out of the realm of possibility.

    And it seems I'll stick with FireFox for now.
