This number turns up under certain data calculations, just as 333 does in infinite, with no absolute solution to the equation.
But it indicates the inevitable tendancy for glitches in data.  So, there is no precise absolute exactness.
Yet, this program is relied upon by media, law enforcement, hospitals, insurance, commercial interests, etc., etc., etc., to compile information on us, the little people, the meek.
The database has no mind of it's own.
It can not be reasoned with and you can not have a conversation with it.
You can talk to people who feed the beast, but they do not know how to really deal with it either. In fact, the more you talk to them, the more data is collected.

There's an oxymoron for you. Responsible use of data means if you've got the money, we've got the data.
Protection of individual privacy would be best served by the destruction of the database.

Your right I can't have a conversation with it or anyone about it because I just don't get it!  Why am I so dense when it comes to math and political categorizations? Why, Why, Why???    I'm starting to feel so dumb!

I want to participate in some of these threads sometimes but my brain hits this brick wall and I just don't understand what anyone is talking about.  Yet I know I'm not dumb and I can hold semi-intelligent conversations, I just want to be able to do it with stuff like this too!  It kind of makes me feel like my move to NH was for nothing because I'm not helping because I just don't know what to do because I don't understand so many things.

So many of you have tried to help me and I've really read what you wrote, printed some of it out to study it, but I still don't understand it.  What should I do?  I've learned some things as long as it's put in a way that my head doesn't hit that brick wall but I just feel like it's not enough.

I guess what I'm afraid of is getting involved in lets say a political scenario and someone comes up and starts talking to me about political things am I even going to understand them?  What if I hurt the freedom movement because they walk away thinking, what an idiot?


Maybe it was me, not my twin that my mom dropped when we were babies!

Sorry about my rant, pms is a bitch and I've been a whiny baby all day.  I will be fine I just have to have dictionary nearby when I read certain threads!

Iam going to get in alot of trouble here.
But since thats never stopped me before...

I always laughed when they have an add for
PMS pills on T/V.

I say yea lotta good that is.

It should come in liquid form so we
could put into darts.

Example:

Him: Hi love of my life.
Her: get away from me you SOB.

Him: gets dart gun adjusts for windage
Pfft bullseye, goes outside smokes a Cig.
comes back to happy women.

The dart gun  should come with the marriage
license.

quote[U.S. funding privately run database intended for tracking terrorists

By JIM KRANE, AP Technology Writer
(Published Wednesday, September 24, 2003, 4:41 AM)

<http://www.iir.com/matrix/>Multistate Anti-TeRrorism Information EXchange (MATRIX) <http://www.iir.com/matrix/>


NEW YORK (AP) - While privacy worries are frustrating the Pentagon's plans for a far-reaching database to combat terrorism, a similar project is quietly taking shape with the participation of more than a dozen states - and $12 million in federal funds.

The database project, created so states and local authorities can track would-be terrorists as well as criminal fugitives, is being built and housed in the offices of a private company but will be open to some federal law enforcers and perhaps even U.S. intelligence agencies.

Dubbed Matrix, the database has been in use for a year and a half in Florida, where police praise the crime-fighting tool as nimble and exhaustive. It cross-references the state's driving records and restricted police files with billions of pieces of public and private data, including credit and property records.

Privacy advocates, officials in two states and a competing data vendor have branded Matrix as playing fast and loose with Americans' private details.

They complain that Matrix houses restricted police and government files on colossal databases that sit in the offices of Seisint Inc., a Boca Raton, Fla., company founded by a millionaire whom police say flew planeloads of drugs into the country in the early 1980s.

"It's federally funded, it's guarded by state police but it's on private property? That's very interesting," said Christopher Slobogin, a University of Florida law professor and expert in privacy issues. "If it's federally funded, the federal government obviously has a huge interest in it."

Matrix was initially intended to track terrorists, as was the Pentagon's Terrorism Information Awareness project, which sparked a congressional uproar and got watered down.

As a dozen more states pool their criminal and government files with Florida's, Matrix databases are expanding in size and power. Organizers hope to coax more states to join, touting its usefulness in everyday policing.

It gives investigators access to personal data, like boat registrations and property deeds, without the government possibly violating the 1974 Privacy Act by owning the files.

But California and Texas dropped out, citing, among other things, worries over housing sensitive files at Seisint. And a competing data vendor, ChoicePoint, decided not to bid on the project, saying it lacked adequate privacy safeguards.

Aspects of the project appear designed to steer around federal laws that bar the U.S. government from collecting routine data on Americans.

For instance, the project is billed as a tool for state and local police, but organizers are considering giving access to the Central Intelligence Agency, said Phil Ramer, special agent in charge of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's intelligence office.

In the 1970s, Congress barred the CIA from scanning files on average Americans, after the agency was cited for spying on civil rights leaders.

"The CIA doesn't have this now," Ramer said. "That's a major political issue we'll have to cross."

Florida officials have acknowledged that users of Matrix, which stands for Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange, can "monitor innocent citizens."

Ramer and others say, however, that unscrupulous spying will be prevented through Florida police oversight of Matrix users, along with audits and background checks on people with access to the database.

Criminal history files in the database are maintained by 15 Seisint employees, watched over by Florida state police, Ramer said.

Yet a Florida Department of Law Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press shows potential lapses in oversight. The memo says background checks on Seisint's Matrix workers took place only last month, more than a year into the program, and a privacy policy governing the database's use has yet to be finalized.

Seisint declined to comment, referring a reporter to Seisint's public relations representative, Amber Zentis of Qorvis Communications, who asked that questions be e-mailed. The company did not answer those questions.

I actually wish I didn't understand some of the threads that pop up. Most of them are just opinions anyway, and we know the addage about that. People always try to point out "facts" but even those can be easily invented and misrepresented.

Don't worry about what others think; IMO, we all have our own unique talents, just focus on what you can do. Even a seemingly small action can provide a large benefit, and one not need be an intellectual to be effective.
