Many people say "why does it bother you?" because if it bothers you "maybe you have something to hide." What seems to be forgotten is that instead of actually trying to collect information about how all the stuff collected on any individual may be used in various situations.

Let's imagine you have a card that you have to use when bying your food.
The system registers your stuff, and say there is a pile of sausages.

Lets imagine that you are at age of 50 and your sausages have been counted for some ten years.

Is there any indivation, when following the trail of your purchases, that while you are at that age and have eaten salt and fat in such amounts, shows you having some other activities other than deteriorating your health? If not, then a comclusion can be made.

This individual is living an unhealthy life, he's been eating this and that and has not been physically active. So he is in risk of getting diseases of a-z.

From this point on "they" -it's always the They
- sell this information further. Maybe you need an insurance of some kind. Ok, let's have a look at your file... hmmm. ahaa, you'll be having some heart conditions in the very near future. And so on and so on.

My pint here is that it is highly unlikely that a Mysterious Black Van with Even More Mysterious Men will show up bashing your door in the middle of the night. It is the stuff they collect on each and every individual, putting together a kind of map of various things about his/her life that will or can be somehow used creating estimates and maybe foresee some things that've not yet happened.

It is obvious that if you use this "card" of yours while buying a new TV or a car, you spend X dollars every month. But if you only buy sausages and beer every month, you're not a potential more-dollars -customer. So as the information about is being sold out, you might, and propably will, be categorized in several stages by how good a customer you potentially are.

Ofcourse, it is fascinating to think about large scale scams and some pinpointed 24/7 surveillance over any individual. This makes one feel important and somehow fill the gap which has emerged while noticing that you're not a millionaire and in fact you're a nobody and everyone can walk over you. It is fear and anger and frustration by being so helpless and it is easy to blame outwards than to take a good look at yourself. It is not about who caused you to be nobody, it is about why did you let yourself become a nobody. While, again, not trying to actually make moves to improve your way of life, which would force you to change something what you've been doing wrong for years, you fiercely seek for an answer putside, someone else to blame. That's crazy and useless! Instead of stopping to think what you can do to make things better, you waste even more time blaming someone else. When you are old and these black vans never showed up, you will come to ask yourself "what did I achieve over the years?"

Would you like to have a family and a house and a dog or would you rather have a solid proof of some scam you invented out of bits and pieces to rage out without never having achieved anything else but humor other people with stuff you will never get to change no matter how loud you scream?

Come on people!!!
