Thought control is alive and well. Be careful...big brother is watching you...and you....and you over there too.

I've been known to post a few good political rants and then and have had no problems (yet) getting work. It's pretty bad when you have to look over your cyber-shoulder to make sure some HR type doesn't sift a tidbit from the glut and use that to determine if you'll be a good employee or not. I don't look at it as loosing a job. I look at it as not having to deal with a company that has just invaded my privacy.

Then again, why would you put compromising photos of yourself on the web in the first place...and who's having the toga party and didn't invite all of us?
