Do. Not. Miss. this article on how the frightening industry of data mining works.

Choicepoint, aka DBT, is the company that provided the flawed felon list to Fla. Never let it be said that the bushes don’t take care of their own.

...Yeah, they’ve been around for awhile too. As I recall they got some very bad press awhile back, this before AT&T;et al reached out and touched everyone and USA Today made sure you knew about it. Hey! Here’s an ad slogan they could use. “We’re Choice Point! Helping to bring you the Technology of Tomorrows Totalitarianism---Today!” Jesus Christ..Big Brother with a Big Bottom line...and you’re paying for it...Their management must’ve studied in and based their business model-acumen on China’s--Hey? Why not? The Department of Defense contracts out private torturers don’t they?--And as you know contracts usually go to the lowest bidders...Good Goddamn...Makes me glad I’m a bum with more past than future…
