Oh, I don't doubt that for a second. Nor will there EVER be a breach in their security, so that, now with no limit to records (or funds), a conniver could have unfettered access to a great many people's private information. I shouldn't even mention the chance that this private entity would sell the info wholesale, as we've seen countless times before. No, this time, no problems seen. - trog69 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 03:01:15 +0100 http://www.adamsmith.org/blog/media-and-culture/libraries,-records-and-the-state-200804121203/#comment-11 Dr Butler writes: "Ireland is still small enough for them to feel easy calling you by your first name." England and America are each larger still, and in each, one is increasingly addressed by one's first name quite inappropriately. Is it Ireland's small size, or it is simply filling with forward, unmannered oiks like America and England? - s j masty Sat, 12 Apr 2008 15:26:49 +0100
