whoops.

apparently, i'm not paying attention. how the hell did this slip by me? sniffle.

i'm also depressed to see that PA has such a small showing.

frankly, i'm all for government transparency. when people complain that you have to give up some privacy for security, i don't bother with the apocryphal ben franklin quote, but i say that it should work both ways. if i am forced to give up personal information and privacy under some misguided addiction to data-mining (come on folks, let's call it what it is), then i should be able to see what my government, the one that i elected and pay for, is doing with that information. taking my privacy and then giving me nothing back other than some handwaving and a vague promise of "security" is not an acceptable state of things.
