The Government Reads Your Blog

I’ve been contemplating a post about what my financial situation is really like. I whine here and there, but nobody knows what the deal actually is. In fact I already have a long post that I’ve been adding bits to. I figured one of these days I’d edit it and then put it up. It’s sort of a confession. And while there would be no incriminating details, it’s important because it’s vastly impacted my quality of life, my decision making, and my general well-being.

But I’ve changed my mind.

In some ways, in the course of everyday chit chat, talking about everyday things, I felt that I had came close to incriminating myself — in a situation where no crime had occurred.

There’s a little more on it, too.

    That story is a bit scary.

    It reminds me of a blog I read elsewhere. The writer’s family is involved in some sort of lawsuit and the lawyer against them was saying that she got a lot of incriminating information from the blog, which the writer denies was ever there. The lawyer was also harassing her somewhat apparently.

    Blogs are very “public.” Mine has barely been up for two months and it’s already google-fied whereas none of my non-blog websites have ever been hit by a google search after years of existence.
