Political Quotes

“we live in a period of unprecedented prosperity and opportunity. We can go more places than ever before. We are living longer and healthier lives than ever before. We are employed in jobs today that were unthinkable just a few years ago. Our lives have changed dramatically because of computers, the Internet and technology. But with all the good that comes with technology, there are elements that cause us concern. One such concern that has captured our attention is the issue of privacy. As more of us use the Internet to shop and conduct business, more of our personal information is being spread throughout the web. That information, in many instances, is used properly and in a way that is good for consumers. But as in any field, there are those who abuse the public trust by using this personal information in unethical ways. Because of concerns about consumer privacy, the Senate has considered how we might do better at protecting consumers while not unwittingly turning off the Internet engine that is such a key part of the economic prosperity we currently enjoy.”
