The danger may not be in the government finding out what we've already read. Our children might grow up thinking that there a books that are just not a good idea to read ... nothing good can come of reading this or that ... and "people should watch what they say" following the advice ofAri Fleischer.

"Never use your real name on the Internet" will be understood as a necessary first step to protecting ourselves from having the government know what we're thinking, rather than protecting our children from the risk meeting "evil doers" online.

Don't talk politics on the telephone. Never question the government's actions. It's just not worth the risk.

Sure, we can all buy our books using aliases and get credit cards in our pets' names. No big deal.

I'm sure that our children will figure out how to live their lives away from the prying eyes of the government.
