I completely agree with you. I don't see why they should be able to look at 
your emails, chats, or I.M.'s. In my opinion, it's the same as the police 
searching your home just to make sure you're not doing anything illegal, or the 
post office reading every piece of mail that comes through. People have a right 
to privacy, whether it be the via the internet or not.

        The societal issue that I looked into and chose to discuss is use of 
the FBI's computerized program Carnivore to monitor personal messages and 
accounts on the internet.  I personally feel that this is a gross violation of 
a United States citizens right to privacy and that it infringes upon basic 
civil rights set forth in our constitution.  With recent events leading to mass 
panic and fear over terrorist activities, this infringement by government 
organizations has only increased. We live in a demorcarcy to avoid having a 
governemt with too much power that takes away the rights from its citizens. For
