Since we now know the government is preserving every phone call, email, text and tweet, can we simply issue a statement that we are turning our duty to preserve over to the Federal Government, since we are the ones actually paying for this service?  We notify them to submit their legal requests directly to the Justice Department.

At the very least we should be able to avoid charges of spoliation since we know the government is doing the best possible job with the best possible technology so wasting money preserving our own stuff would be a redundant expense.

And since the government has taken over the majority of healthcare, and we have no way of knowing whether the exposure of our private health records is a result of their careless behavior; or, our Doctor; or, ourselves, can we also pawn that off on the government.

We would file this under the category of a “reasonable expense” which many of these court rulings seem to reference.  We have paid enormous amounts for this government service in our taxes so anything more would seem to be  unreasonable.

Ironically “1984” was on our reading list at Central Catholic (Class of 1967) and in the class discussion it was agreed that our government would never do such a thing in America and that our safeguard on this being precluded was a Free Press.

In our wildest imaginations we could never envision that a Republican President would start this type of exposure and that the Democratic President would expand the snooping to this wild level.  At the very least we should be able to benefit from this massive Cloud storage center.

At the very least, we can avoid claims of negligence in our records management because we relied on the most sophisticated computer center in the world to store our communication records. Does this make the claim of spoliation less likely?

Dear Uncle Sam, until the Courts  ( Ha Ha Ha) rule otherwise I am placing you on notice that you are now my Cloud. Or the Press once again becomes our watchdog......  (Ha ha Ha, stop my sides are hurting. ) Please send all records requests via Uncle Sam Utah Station. Who would have guessed in 1967 that what Stalin, Hitler and others did would be modeled and surpassed in the Land of the Free.  (No laugh here.) Obamacare trending to ObamaRecordsManagement. Consider yourselves nationalized.
