One of the leading corporations in the world (Hewlett Packard) has helped us to really understand the new millenium's definition of privacy...other than perhaps in bathrooms, there is no such thing as privacy... so you can all take it out of your vocabulary.
Should we really be shocked that the Board of Directors of a Fortune 100 company authorized illegal surveillance one of its peers?.. Of course not...Led by George W. Bush, we're in a whole new world...the concept of ethics disappeared a long time ago...and as we continue to struggle in the war against terrorism and "Islamic Facism", our government and corporate leaders have no qualms about embracing the same hypocritical ideals of our enemies... It would seem that laws are interpreted as we see fit...and its okay to break them if a few people think its for the greater good..
HP Board Members include CEO's of companies that control and adminster private information of tens of millions of Americans. If these people see fit to invade the privacy of one of their peers, why would we think any one of them would hesitate to illegally leverage or exploit the information databases of millions that are immediately available to them.
And why would we think any of us are safe.... George Bush is setting an example for us all...so the message for all you marketers: enjoy the party...do whatever you want with whatever databases you can peak into...everything is fair game now...just keep a good lawyer on hand...or someone that merely knows how to keep good news clippings and can cite what is taking place in America today as your defense.
