No, none was taken. And why I chose it to "come out" I have no frickin idea! Must have been late night and too much caffeine.

Truthfully though, sometimes I find these things to be too intrusive on our lives. It's like the On-Star (Tele-Aid), people can track where you are at all times.

People have been using the tattle tale Air Bag computers to use against others in an accident. I tried to get my insurance company to check mine, but they won't do it when it proves more you are not at fault. I think the Mercedes-Benz controller remembers 22 seconds prior to deployment, but I can't be sure, been a while since I saw the stats.

As we gain convienence we loose privacy. Lord knows, we may not have anymore since the Patriot Act. In fact, I'll make sure the NSA Internet recorders they're putting in all the backbones at AT&T centers turn on...

"So I said to her, bikini wax? I can KILL BUSH for free!"

They actually "brought in for questioning" a guy in Orlando because he was so proud that one of Jeb's relatives was "prepared" by his morturary that he was telling everyone over the phone he "embalmed a Bush" but his accent made it sound like BOMB Bush.
