Nicole,Those were very sobering articles, I really appreciated that.The one about them always listening-in on our phones, even when they are off, sounds familiar.That is what the KGB was doing 30 years ago, where the phones maintained a live relay at all times.The always knew what we were talking about at home or work.It was frightening at first, but unfortunately we became anesthetized to it.Also, when I was in China, I would pray by my bed in the morning.Then the Interpreters would always seem to bring up the subjects that I had been praying about it.I think they thought that they were going to freak me out, but were very surprised when I wasn't.They didn't realize that I had lived with that, by the hand of the KGB, some 10 years earlier.Thank you very much for that,Gino
