When was the last time you signed up for anything? Opened any kind of account (including gas, electric, phone, etc.), visited your doctor, etc.

Every time you give any commercial entity info, like when you go to the hospital, your information is no longer private.

There was a woman that received a letter from a lawyer asking if she wanted to take part in a class action suit involving a certain drug used for a specific illness. She has no idea how this lawyer knew she had the illness or was taking the drug. He got her name from a "mailing list", the guy that sold him the list doesn't even know how the "illness" became a part of it... but he's looking into it.

The thing is, the government is restrained by the law and these commercial entities don't need "court orders" to obtain this private information. Why? BECAUSE YOU GIVE IT TO THEM!!

If the government really wants to keep tabs on you... all they gotta do is purchase a mailing list for a specific target group and they'll have all they need... and it has all been provided by the "public sector" "commercial entities" that you have "given" your info to.
