I already know plenty about you guys.

You get your gas from Saudi Arabia.
You get your clothes from China and Thailand.
You get your cars from Japan or Mexico.
You get your fruit from Peru.


My "Gas" Is actually E85, which is produced in the US.
My cloths are from Walmart, so who knows.
My cars are ALL from Germany... a VW and 2 Audis.
I don't eat fruit.




This whole thread, in my eyes, is paranoia. It all reminds me of my mother. I remember having a conversation with her two years ago when she was trying to explain to me why she refused to buy things on the internet because someone was going to steal all of her money, and why she refused to get a debit card because cash was the only way to keep people from obtaining your personal information when you bought something at a store.

Nothing has been obtained from your phone that doesn't already exist on the internet. Your personal information is available to the general public through your town/city clerk. A great deal of information can be found through various websites with nothing more than your name and town you live in or your license plate numbers and $14.95. Your house can be seen on Google maps. Your class information can be found via google, and your school record can be had for $19.99 through various websites. When you used your credit card at your local grocery store or 7-11, that information was transmitted via the internet (usually satellite). Your driving record can be pulled from the DMV by anyone with your name and address and $12.95.

With information so freely available both online and offline, why would you choose this very moment now to get paranoid about it all? Why would your little tiny 6oz cell phone be the catalyst for your "world is coming to an end" epiphany?


In conclusion: Yes, I think you are overreacting. It's just a phone.
