Our data, ourselves

Rape is a question of consent
So it is with data.Governments and marketeers coerce and bribe
or simply take what information they need.Consent is the issue.
Law agencies violate all privacy frontiers-their surveillance
often results in the wrong doors being blasted open
by SWAT teams hungry for budgets and drug asset seizures
Privacy is a noble concept-in these days of sex slavery
consent is the real issue.Who asks us?(apart from Census)
When did we sign up for intrusive body handling @airports?
Sometimes we need an Alex Jones,a Julian Assange to remind us
that we are not fodder for 1984 universal surveillance intrusion
We actually need Privacy Rights-perhaps the same given
to selective governmental agencies immune to prosecution
When everyone has rights,every body can feel secure
Until then,this is a petition for privacy-for all!
