Are we really supposed to be spying on each other
I am usually not one for conspiracy theories and the like. However, the White House's request that we forward "fishy" videos and emails about its Health Care plan has me a little concerned. I am just old enough to remember the old Soviet Union where neighbors were rewarded for spying on neighbors and children on their parents. (So much for disciplining your children). I also know people who lived in Europe during WWII were snitching on your neighbors was rewarded.
The following clip puts a funny light on it: fishy emails. However, I do have some concern from a civil liberties point of view. Should the government ever be encouraging people to tattle on their neighbors who disagree on policy issues? (if your neighbor is building a large bomb - its ok). It seems to me like it has a chilling effect on free speech. If you disagree, you can always forward this to President Obama. I am sure his people will find it fishy.
Just another thought - Do you really want the same people who oversee the post office overseeing your health care. FedEx made $97 Million while the Post Office lost $7 Billion.
