What ever happened to the wild, wild west? Damn, Montana was one of the last states with legal prostitution and legalized rowdiness. Must be that Ted Turner fella and all those celebrity sorts that don't like all that lawlessness.

This is yet another example of why people should try their best to not be dependent upon a paycheck by staying out of debt and owning a business. This is also what comes when a society devalues privacy.

Well, if you have nothing to hide ... I'm sure this is only used to find terrorists and the loss of this mysterious "privacy" thing is something that people don't need or know they have anyway. In fact, I'll bet one could be called 'unAmerican' if you challenge this.

Oh wait ... Bush is out of office now?
