While I understand you're trying to be funny, that's slightly disturbing.

Bill,

If you were in the military, as I will be soon, you should know you signed
away your privacy. You became property of the US Government in many, many

Independant School District they go to school in, and therefore have to sign
away their rights in order to attain an education?
