fucked up shit

It is true. The government has words (I used to have the list, I'll have to find it again), that they "look" out for. If you say the word, it
automaticaly begins to tape your conversation. It is reviewed and decided if action is necessary. Now since we make millions of phone calls a day they
are sorted by importance. What word, how many of "the words" were said thru out the call. The frequency of the caller (not sure how its logged) using
the specific words and what the conversation was regarding. But in direct responce to your question, Yes it is true...

I remember hearing about this when I was in elementary school. Who knows if it's true. I kind of doubt that it is since the scope of a project like
that would be so fucking HUGE that the man power needed would be incredible. And if it was done by computer... imagine the size and power of the
computer needed to process that much info at one time. I doubt there was a computer sophisticated enough to do that back in the 80s. And how many
languages would the computer have to understand... or a person for that matter.
So, to me... it sounds like one of those urban myths.

Myth. Come on. Think about the lengths they would have to go to just to track some douchebag living in a bassement who is on disability and hates the
government. Drinks all day and talks shit to anyone on the phone. Believe me I would not put anything past any government but thats a little to big
for any government.
Wait come to think of it. Damn they can do alot of thinks like track vehicles on the road. Look inside houses and countries from satellites on space.
Damn. Nevermind. It may be possible. Awww shit!
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

I think it's a myth. People started talking about it in the 80's but it really picked up steam in the 90's after the movie Seven came out. In the
movie they said the FBI tracks certain library books and keeps a record of those who check out questionable material. Same in Conspiracy Theory,
where they tracked bookstores as well for people buying certain books. Add the paranoia of the internet, it gets blown up even bigger. But it makes
for great fiction. The government doesn't bother denying it for two reasons, because it sounds too unbelievable, and because it keeps certain people
afraid.

Ok fellas, thats an urban myth just like the government had nothing to do with the JFK assisination. You'd be suprised the things we (people in the
United $tate$) are passive about in thinking its too big to happen. I agree that the movies dont help the situation much for being dramatic about it.

revolt from librarians on that one
