Scary Stuff...

Some of the more frightening things to come up lately:

-Be thankful you're in College. The Pentagon is creating a database of high school students between 16 and 18 for military recruitment purposes. The database will include sensitive information such as birthdates, social security numbers, grade point averages and subjects studies.

-SCOTUS has ruled that governments can take private property against the owner's will for economic development projects. In other words, your local government can now take your house and land in order for someone else to put up a shopping mall.

-A study commissioned by Senator Lugar (R-IN) states "The world faces an estimated 50% chance of nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attack over the next five years... Over ten years this risk expands to as much as 70%."
