FOUR FOR FRIDAY
Q1 - Shopping: How important is the "Made in America" label in your purchasing decisions?
Q2 - Eavesdropping: To what degree do you feel government should be allowed to monitor its citizens phone calls without court approval (as much as it wants, not at all, by court order only, or somewhere in between)?
Q3 - Soda: Last week, all of the major soft drink manufacturers agreed to stop selling sugary soft drinks in public schools. Schools, responding to pressure that soft drinks contribute to children being overweight and unhealthy, will instead only sell water, low-fat milk and certain unsweetened juices to elementary and middle schools, and diet sodas, flavored water, unsweetened or diet teas and sports drinks to high schools. What do you think? Will this help children to be more fit, healthy and not become overweight?
Q4 - Retirement: Based on what you know today, at what age do you think you'll retire?

The secrecy of the NSA phone traffic program means that Americans have no way to know or determine whether proper safeguards have been placed on the data extraction: Who has access to the phone records? How long will the records be kept? What happens when a colleague, neighbor or even a recipient of a wrong number call becomes enmeshed in an investigation? The absence of sufficient safeguards is troubling.
