I may have told you this story before. A young activist once asked me and some other politcally minded peoples if he should be worried that his emails and activity might be monitored by the government, or that he might have an FBI file somewhere.
I replied, "Damn, I hope I have an FBI file!" Honestly, if I wasn't in the FBI's crazy looney leftist database somwheres, I think I might be seriously offended! I'd be all, "Whattaya mean I'm not in your database? dammit, you put me in there! I am so a threat to the government! And start reading my emails fer chrissakes!"
Seriously, it would be really depressing if I wasn't. All my street cred would be gone! >:/
