welcome to the bush dictatorship. enjoy your stay and dont question any authority. blindly conform or be thrown in jail for terrorism.

::shrug:: all we can do is hope that he follows the presidential tradition and doesnt run for a third term... and hope he doesnt screw us too hard in the next 4 years. then maybe someone with a little computer know-how will get in office, and not blindly allow such broad policy to pass.

till then setup a crontab to delete the logs once a week or more if need be. there is also a tool called secure delete. i had replaced my old rm command with that. simply because it, for lack of a better word, scrambles(numerous times) it and then deletes the file(s). just set yourself up so that this crap cant be pulled on you...

hopefully my rantings help some people.
