Last night I got an email from the pharmacy where we usually fill our prescriptions.  They're a big national chain and you can't go six blocks in any direction here in town without running into one.  They're the one chain that's even more ubiquitous than Target here in Target land.

The reason they sent the email was to inform their pharmacy customers that their computers had been hacked and our emails were now in the hands of some person or persons who had no business to them.

The email assured us that the hackers didn't get any other info; just emails.

Sure.

I feel better now.

And when all our medical records are in the federal governments data banks, we'll all still have privacy.

If you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona that I'll sell you for a song.  Or a billion dollars.  That's not so much money any more.

Isaac Azimov and George Orwell both based a lot of their fiction on the political currents of the times in which they lived.  The nonsense our foolish elected officials intend to foist upon us could be fodder for some more great books.

I'll have to ponder this...
