Think of the Gin that will vanish at the same time!
And the sheep...the poor, lonely, innocent sheep that willan haven retrobeen aforepreexisted.
(Even after Dan Streetmentioner, I find the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Subjunctive Intentional tense of "Exist" to be awkward...)

F* the sheep! Though if they never exist you can't.

Based upon your CV he probably thought you wouldn't catch the logical inconsistency.
It's called 'targeted marketing'.

It stops idiots who obviously aren't bothering to do their research from bothering me. These are 'harvesters', only after getting the CV's and I know not why as you never hear back.

I seem to be in a minority not caring about governments spying on me, but I read in the paper this morning that somebody had worked out that his LG television was recording his viewing habits and sending the information back to LG - seemingly for targeting advertising.
So, when you change channel that gets logged allegedly. This does concern me - as we enter an age where everything is connected and getting smarter devices are feeding back your habits for corporate use. Your phone does it, supermarkets do it and now your TV does it. That I think is one step too far...

Nice sweater by the way. It looks good on you.

My usual response to that is, "So, you won't mind if the police show up without a warrant and start rummaging through your closets, inspecting your sock drawer and making copies of your computer hard drives. I mean, if you aren't doing anything wrong...."

If the executives at LG had the power to invade my home and look in my sock drawer I'd be worried about the spying. As it stands now, if I catch an executive of LG looking through my sock drawer I could probably get away with shooting him.
However, the police have a long history of violating basic civil rights - so no sock drawer for them.

That depends on your definition of 'wrong'.
The problem is, first and foremost, it is a violation of the 4th Amendment in the US.
If the gov't suddenly decides that owning books is 'wrong', or having cats is wrong, or that more than one computer means you have too much money, so they'll come take one of the computers, and garnish your wages..
Are you still ok with it then?

You would have been a model citizen in a communist country.
We detested people like you.

It's OK, because it sends your data to the Korean government, and they can't do anything with it.
