Likewise, Birdgirl. Let us know when you finish med school.

Hamlet, I'm obviously not going to have much luck in convincing you. It wasn't some seventeen year old opportunistic burglar with a conscience, unless he was working in coordination with my then upstairs neighbor who was dropping heavy objects on his bedroom floor to keep me awake at night, who was somehow shutting my hot water off while I would shower turning the water ice cold, and who would stomp the floor above when lines of dialog on my TV like 'You loser' or 'Go kill yourself' would happen by on the radio or television broadcasts.

Let me just drive home the basic point one last time. We all know about 'cause stalkers' - people of a mostly conservative/evangelical bent who hang out and harass at abortion clinics and such to discourage people with opposing views from patronizing such places. People like that are being organized to do much more these days - being given and allowed to expoit surveillance technologies to watch their more liberal fellows in their homes and mock and harass them in-home and elsewhere in all kinds of clever ways that can't be proven and which are designed to seem like products of delusion and mental disorder. They are also sharing what they surveill and can limit access to jobs and other opportunities and generally make life hellish:

It's a kind of psychological war going on out there. The depressing thing is that even folks like you, who are prime candidates for being targeted, remain staunchly incredulous and won't even go and sign a petition demanding that government expose and/or end that war and who, if and when you are targeted, will find yourselves just as helpless as people like me who are already targeted in that war. Some things never change.

All the best,
TJ
