Does this surprise you KR?

There are more liberals like you (although apparently moderate on this issue) moving into the conservative strongholds like Idaho and Montana.

Boulder CO, Bozeman MT, and Boise ID, it just continues on (To connect two current stories, I'll note Western Watershed Project also has an office in Bozeman- it's the liberal mindset).

This is just another canary in the cave on the erosion of your individual privacy and freedoms. Obviously it wasn't just one person who came up with that crazy Consent Form.

The problem is, THIS and similar things creates a "culture of acceptance".

Each little piece of sand doesn't seem like much but it continues to build and before you know it you have an ugly pile of sand. Privacy, press, religion, gun rights, access to public land, private ownership,,, and people just accept it...

At the current rate, KR, some day you will have to run everything you write past a 'committee' for approval. Then you'll ask yourself, "What happened to the freedom of press", and you'll wonder when the erosion all started.

No, you can't carry a gun, don't say God in school, take your clothes off to board a plane... and give us your passwords to get a job.

You are questioning it now, but you are just one person, KR, the masses don't THINK about such things, they just accept it.

My guess is, with time, you'll accept it too because your liberal writing is one piece of sand.

What in the world does this issue have to do with liberals and conservatives, Im a liberal and this Bozeman idea makes me spit mad. No way, theres no way I would do it and it is not only stupid but likely againstthe constitituion.

Theshoes off plane thing - of course stupid and also not political. Don't want to take your guns away, just make some better laws about assault weapons and background checks. Support 2nd amendment. I'm a liberal. Don't make assumptions about what liberal means.

That's some grade A paranoia, udapimp.

Spot on, poet!

That's what you need on your city computers!

Well, it's getting to be a chore having hunches and being right so often...

OH. WELL.

Thank you for hollering.

From the newwest.net site: "...city attorney Greg Sullivan said this was required to ensure employees will protect the public trust. He also added that no applicant had removed their name from consideration due to the requirement.

See, KR, people are used to such intrusions.

Even your readers here, so far have little to say about the invasion of privacy. Instead they fail to connect the dots, use paranoia and ignornance to desribe the opposition to such policies, and even jump on the bandwagon in apparent support of it.

The city attorney (an attorney, a student of the law) even says it's "required" to protect the public trust. Public trust of who?

And yet no applicant withdrew from their application.

There is already a "culture of acceptance" to that which you, KR, think is "unbelievable" as a "foolish" and "ridiculous idea".

Bozeman's site says the 5 city commissioners are nonpolitical- no party affiliation (kinda like Mayor Bieter I suppose).
Here are their profiles, you can evaluate that accordingly:

This is right in line with your "bigger gov't knows best" ideology. Aren't we supposed to be happy to turn over more decision making authority to gov't entities? I think we've been told its our patriotic duty! Get your head in the game Kev! Never question authority -- or something like that.

says that the city has now dropped the requirement. I haven't checked this.

thanks for the shout-out!

Oops, you shined the light on us and our wrongful ways.
We'll "reverse our policy".

When you turn on the lights, roaches run and hide. But they're still there in the cracks and crevices of your home, waiting for you to turn out the lights again.

One roach, then two roaches, then they breed, waiting for you turn out your lights. (Gee, I could make a POEM out of this stuff).

I told her she was an idiot to drop her name and password. Now everybody knows about her revolutionary past. She told me it was only a job application.
