People have a right to privacy, but only to the extent that they
choose to protect it. In other words, if you open up your living room
curtains and put on a show for the whole neighborhood, you best not be
whining about privacy. Palin's e-mail account was, simply put, public.
If you're using your zip code as a password then YOU HAVE NO PASSWORD.
It's *NO* different from simply leaving the account completely open
with no password on it at all. It pretty much INVITES people to walk
right in and take a look. Which begs the question...is it a setup? A
publicity stunt? I mean is Palin *REALLY* so fucking stupid that she
would have a completely open e-mail account on a public server? Maybe
she is, I don't know, but you have to admit that there is at least the
possibility of it all being an elaborate...
