I did leave out the 'r' , but the question you have to ask yourself is, was it an accident (ok you caught me, when I am typing fast I miss out letters ).

I agree with you nihil, we have a right to privacy, I mean just because you could use this program for illegal purposes, doesn't mean you actually will. It is like they are assuming you to be guilty, 'they are going on the internet and they don't want us to know where they are going, so they must be doing something illegal'. I just think that I deserve to be able to have some privicy, is that really too much to ask ? As if it isn't already enough when you are out and about in general, CCTV everywhere , speed cameras, financial transactions tracked etc. This on top of the fact that the government are talking about putting GPS systems in your car so the insurance company can charge you depending where you drive, or park. This just happens to have the side effect that they could tell if you were speeding, your own car could tell on you.

We are expected to accept all of this and are made to feel guilty if we want any privacy, phrases like 'if you are not doing anything wrong, what have you got to hide' are always used. Why should I feel guilty about wanting some time to myself without big brother looking over my shoulder??

sorry if there are any spelling mistakes, the spell checker will not work on this computer for some strange reason, I blame IE .
