Or, just look them up on whitepages.com

I don't have a LAN line and don't live in Loudon anymore. It's old info.

Even though, for the time being, all that information is public record, it is still not morally acceptable for all of it to be compiled in such a manner. Marking and fingering law abiding citizens is something that criminals and terrorists do, and something that should not be done by a newspaper.

Jobs are hard enough to come by lately, you take what you can get that serves your needs. Being shot down by an employer for no other reason than you own a firearm is idiotic. If you can't legally be fired due to the fact that you own a firearm, why should you be disqualified for employment because of the same?

Would you really want to work for someone like that though? They are probably doing you a favor.

What my employer doesn't know, that does them no harm, should be of absolutely no consequence.

There's an awful lot of stuff that can be acquired via a FOI request. That doesn't mean that it should all be compiled and published.

The Journal News...What a stupid name. It's grammatically incorrect.

do you like to see your name, address, house value or pics on the inet w/o your permission, my guess is NO

this is no diff. sure its out there, but at least you have to do some digging to find it.

This is all already available and doesn't require much digging at all.

But it flipped the whole equation on its head. People that can't recognize the difference between having information about an individual available upon request and publishing an interactive map that gives the home address of any population sect worry me. Particularly a sect that is viewed as a threat by many people.
