People can use the internet to get to your house!!!

I thought this was a hoax until I tried it myself.

Go to www.mapquest.com

Type in your address.

And watch as Mapquest gives anyone access to a detailed map leading to your house!!!

They can even get directions from wherever they are to your house!!!

Even if you are not publically listed!!

Even worse is that on www.anywho.com you can look up publically listed numbers.

There are hundreds of sites that allow you to do this!!!!

I guess this is a very bad time of degrading privacy in which persons who decide to publically list their information will actually find it... publically listed!!!!

And just as bad is that you can't force maps to black out the part of the map with your address on it!!! Meaking your address publically viewable on a map without your consent!!

It's a sad day when a bunch of grown men put publically accessible informaton in other publically accessible places.

I don't like when privacy is degrading.
That just doesn't sound right.


But if you really want to know, there's this other thread
with some highly secret secrets revealed.
But don't tell anybody, okay? Nobody needs to know...

That's nothing!

A high-powered cabal is not only collecting information on everything from your name, what city you live in, your address, and even your phone number, but they are putting it in a BOOK and -- get this -- DELIVERING the book to EVERYONE in your city! Your grocer, your personal trainer, your vet -- EVERYONE can look in this book and find out EXACTLY WHERE YOU LIVE!! You better get some industrial-strength window blinds, people, 'cause who knows who could be standing outside looking in, now that they know how to find you...

Even worse is that these "phone books" are regularly used by thugs and such to administer brutal beatings with lead pipes without breaking the skin!!!

Imagine if one of those thugs looked you up! They would then have easy access to.. to.. to.. publically accessible information!!!

:-) Ever notice how when you're driving a car and come across
a red light, it seems like everybody just stops all of sudden?
But if it's green they don't.

Now don't call me crazy or anything, but I think it's a conspiracy!
It's almost like everybody's in on it.

Have you ever seen anything that strange and ... disturbing?

CB, it's well-known that red goes directly to the fear receptors of the brain. It's just a form of remote control. Red-stop!! Green-it's OK, go ahead. Red-STOP!!!

Is it any wonder that depression is being diagnosed at an all-time high?

One evening (after drinking most of a bottle of wine) I began to notice that the sky outside was getting darker and darker while the street lights across from my house were getting brighter and brighter. Naturally, I became suspicious. So I got in my car and followed the high wires that connected the street lights. They led to a big plant down at the river. And that's when I figured it all out. They're sucking the light out of the sky to run a big power wheel underground that keeps the river running.

Which might be okay, but I'll betcha they're charging us for it, too.

You think maybe they're the same guys running those red/green lights on the corner? They're connected to the same high wires. I know. I checked.
