Do they want to read my diary too - or strip search me first to make sure my breast are what they were hoping for or to make sure I'm not an intersex individual, or perhaps THAT I"M NOT PART OF OCCUPY OR OTHER POLITICAL ACTION GROUPS OR A POLITICAL PARTY? Maybe they'd like to do a brain scan or hook me up to a lie detector test or take a DNA sample ?

The question is not what am I doing wrong that matters because in my country innocence is presumed before guilt so I have the right not to have a burden of proof or investigation into my life until I've committed a crime (mind you we're not talking about law enforcement we're talking about employers and working at staples or a lousy big-box store job) ... corporations are forcing us into an Orwellian nightmare

But now we sign over our rights when we agree to take a job - fill out any box store application and you must sign an agreement to never sue and always mediate (before you're even allowed to fill out the application) http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/151452/woman_gang- rapedby_7_halliburton_employees%22signed_away%22_her_right_to_sue_how_justice_has_become_the_privilege_of_corporations/

Contracts signing away civil and human rights have been approved by the courts - bye bye anti-discrimination suit by bye sexual harassment protection. Used to think checking credit was invasive (should I get to see their financial and tax reports to make sure I don't get caught up in a company who might bring shame to my name and family before they can offer employment positions.

Our government needs to get on this stuff and now - we are under imminent attack and they are standing by with their hands in their pockets - Stop reading My Pet Goat Obama and get off your ass and do something.

They also legally have the right to patent genes specific to your body against your will

Where are the barcode tattoos? That could be next ?....

This is all true stuff isn't anyone interested in this ? I find it fascinating just as a study in literature that Orwell could be so on the mark
