Sounds suspicious

Ok, I just finished reading the post about jackboots, and was in the process of reading the one about secrets are secrets, when all of the sudden my AOL disconnects me. I have been using this computer and AOL for months, and that has never happened before. Leads me to think that something funny may be going on. Am I right in thinking this is suspicious? Or have I just had too much caffeine tonight?

    go to www.zonealarm.com and get your self a firewall, and you'll be surprised what happens to your computer while online, about 50 or so port scans a night, and it is free by the way, but I reccomend upgrading to the zonealarm pro, best money I ever spent, I get no more moffies(disconects)

    You're not alone MarkII, It's a conspiracy..I' must plead insanity ahead of time, just so I have a good excuse for my paranoia....I think it goes way beyond AOL... I'd say that with these new terrorizing laws passing lately, the secret police are gonna get you...I love my country, I must reiterate that for all to hear...the country I was born a citizen of...the country I was educated in the public school system of....the same school system that taught the bill of rights as part of social studies, and that along with the constitution of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA., And the same school system that requires its students to stand and recite the pledge of alegiance, with our right hand solemnly held over our hearts. I grew up believing that no man could take those rights away from me. Developing an attidude of reverance for those so loved rights. I could ramble on here, but it couldn't make me any more patriotic. I'm already there. having said that..I am concerned that there are those within a dark veil of secrecy who would try to remove our ability to keep a faith in this dearly beloved country. Who would go as far as to undermine our faith in the very governmental system that has held us together for over 200 years. I will never loose faith in that system. I do question the integrity of some of those whom we have elected, and of some of those whom have done the electing. We as American Citizens need to take a long hard look at our values, and what we expect from our elected, and how they got there, and how we as a country have stood together for over 200 years....even through civil, and revelutionary war, we have emerged as a great nation. Let none of us allow tyrany to crumble the rocks of freedom that this great Nation has been founded uppon. The really scarry part is that with all of our diversity, how do we get together to form an Alliance of Reaffirmed American People, who are willing to stand up and speak out against tyrany, if big brother is sneaking in our back door to make sure we don't say or do anything that might upset the apple cart. That to me is Terrorizing to my soul. The fear that ssome supercomputer somewhere, might and me to a list because of something I've said, or something I've purchaced in the name of FREEDOM. yea....jackboots...
    keep lots of extra uppers for your ar..you can change often enough to keep the thing from over heating...what ever caliber fits the moment..~Secret Select Society of Suave Stylish Smoking Jackets~

    AOL and it's peer are notorious for slowing down access to gun related sitesAOL's ceo puts gunsites into the same catagory as porno-so he says.Ever since the feds hooked up the "carnivore" software to monitor AOL and Earthlink, Aol has become a slow toad for it's members.If you have Mcafee and AOL you may run into some problems with that also.
