There is new building off the freeway, I have concerns
maybe you can help me out. It bothers me that this building is surround by a grated fence, a gate at the entrance which appears one needs a key card to enter. The name of the company is Acxiom.

Okay, it did a couple of searches, need your feedback. Is this a company that has all of our data in their systems?

Here is one of the links http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,61240,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_1

1. Perhaps not all...
But one hell of a lot.

But their relative, Choicepoint, has well-greased the slipery slope. It will be a few years in the coming, but that industry is gonna see...changes.

3. This bothers me
You said that industry is gonna see changes, what do you mean
by that?

Everytime I get off the freeway, this building, the fences and the
gates bother me. I get goosebumps because I feel something is wrong there. I don't see other buildings that has a fortress surrounding them.

2. I think this is the firm that Wesley Clark worked for and
lobbied Congress and Homeland Security Department for. (And lotsa Clark supporters just can't seem to understand why SOME of us were never gung-ho Clark.)

Oh, you should also google Acxiom +Jackson Stephens. And Jackson Stephens +Bush also +Clinton. And who/whatever else you can think of. (More reasons some of us will never feel comfortable with Wesley Clark.)
