I'm with you....a very bad idea.

Awwww, c'mon. Give TIPS a chance! After all, tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Saddam Hussein all agree that local level informants are the most effective way to gather intelligence on unreliable sorts! And it's fun, too! Rat on that pesty neighbor whose dog craps on your lawn. Make allegations against that creep your daughter's been seeing. See? We'll wonder how we ever got along without TIPS!

Oh, I get it now. Can I turn in my suspicions about Freepers who don't like my comments, too? Fun!! Is sinkspur a target?:^)

Have you read the actual text of the TIPS program? Where does this neighbor's dog crapping on your yard etc. B.S. reference come from? This program was proposed for public places only. Best get your facts straight before allowing your paranoia to run rampant.

And won't it be FUN when the "goooood guys" aren't in power any more, and Hillary or some such gets to use all these newfound attacks on liberty and is in charge of investigations and arrests!

WOOHOO!
