Epsilon holds email addresses for dozens of companies. So far I've gotten a version of that email from walgreens, kroger, express, & bestbuy. Apparently my email was stolen several times over ;D

Can you point to a single person that was fired after 911? How about a single person at Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that was fired? Anyone at the Federal Reserve have their job on the line? Anyone fired after that bridge collapsed in Minnesota? Gov't loses personal information every day.
