After all thats been said, Im with Zero on this. I *like* my profile,
and have no reason to hide it.

Note that I do not urge others to throw away their privacy. I
recognize there are some very legitimate reasons for maintaining it.

Since Im out, Im all the more motivated to fight the new world
order (whatever that is) and fight those who would take away
freedom.

I even put my blood on it: I donated a blood sample to DNA dot com.
About 3 years ago, I stared running my mouth about trying to
gather a group of info-nudists, who would reveal their DNA and
every health habit. Then some time later, DNA dot com advertised
they were collecting samples to try to discover genetic links between
DNA and various diseases. For this to work, they need to know your
health habits, and I told all, I held nothing back. (Fortunately they
didnt ask about my Jar Jar Binks doll.) I realize I am taking a
chance: the info *could* fall into the hands of the insurance
company, etc. Evil could happen. But I decided the
potential good outweighs the risks. DNA dot com
is welcoming volunteers. spike
