"Should Google be required to give the Justice Department data on users' searches?"

There is not a lot to talk about here.
Cut and dried as far as I am concerned.
They can't open my snail mail; can they? Yes, I guess so; with a warrant.

Bastards.
The results so far this morning are 27% YES and 73% NO.
Good.
