1.Have you ever visited a sexually oriented website?

Yes...out of curiousity but, I'm not a fan.

2.If your answer to question #1 was yes, was that before the Patriot Act was enacted, or after, or both?

Before but, the Patriot Act has nothing to do with this. I took a peak out of curiousity but, porn isn't my thing so I haven't returned.

3.Since the creation of the Patriot Act in 2001, do you feel hesitant to express of your views online?

Nope...never hesitant to express my views in any context.

4.Are you more concerned about which sites you frequent?

No.


5.Are you concerned that the government may be monitoring your internet usage?

Concerned, not really. But, I beleive they are doing it and don't think that it is fair practice unless a person is a suspect.

Only the guilty need be concerned.
