If you leave your door open, and someone comes in and steals your belongings, it is theft? If you leave your car door unlocked with the keys in it, and someone steals your car, is that theft?

Here's a thought. Next time you see something that belongs to someone else just lying around, why not take it? They deserve to be ripped off, right?

It really is starting to look like morality has become obsolete. Now it's all "might makes right" and "they deserved to be ripped off".

*sigh*

Once upon a time people used to leave their doors unlocked. Nowadays people triple lock everything and back that up with electronic alarm systems. Those who can afford it add padlocked gates. Such a beautiful world we live in.

I am torn. On the one hand, privacy. On the other hand, good work.

I have a keep all sensitive client communications off the email. The democrats were stupid to trust ANY email service. Did Republicans avoid sending stuff on email? Did Republicans close the open directory for just Republican memos?

If the emails were for ELECTION party tactics, that is a violation of campaign finance laws. Aren't members restricted from even making political phone calls?

If this is their place of work and the server is unsecured and open to all, what is the crime or violation? It may be cruel (and admittedly biased) but if there is no rule there is no crime. Insider trading was not a violation until there was a rule and laws. Getting inside info where highways were going so insiders could buy land at future intersections was not illegal until recently.

Since it is all public, lets see the memos! Show me the memos!
