I'm trying to imagine myself in Terri's shoes and think why I would need a "Bat phone?" If I am innocent and have told LS all I know....I'll admit I wouldn't be crazy about "listeners" on my phone..but whatever could they hear that I would fear?
I have told them everything ..so they are not going to hear anything I withheld or suppressed.
I have no secrets so they are not going to hear secrets.
Maybe I want to cry and bash Kaine and Desiree, but that would be in keeping with my innocence.
Maybe I want to vent about the unfairness of being suspected, but that also reaffirms innocence and is nothing to hide.
Maybe I want to call special friends, but I've told LS who all my friends are anyway.
So what is my motivation?
The only thing I can think of is wanting so much to do something (sexting) that if overheard might damage my reputation somewhat. But then this speaks to self-control. And priorities. Is anything of this nature more important than a possible clue that might come from someone talking TO ME? Is my "release" more important than what might lead to finding Kyron.
Because if I'm innocent, I might still get a call from someone who might let something slip that leads to this precious child's return.
I would HATE having my privacy invaded...but it's a small enough thing to ask if there is even the slightest chance to help find Kyron.
IMO, this switcheroo is either further proof that Terri has something to hide...or that her own needs come before Kyron.
There's no harm to her if she's not hiding anything. Is there? Just inconvenience....
Just my opinion...
Really? We all talk to friends and family about our troubles, and personal affairs. So, if a friend calls you to talk about something very personal, you wouldn't mind having those details be monitored and possibly become public? Are you going to advise your friends before each and every conversation that anything you say might be intercepted and recorded?
Are you sure that you really want everything in your life, and that of your friends and family, to not be private, but accessible? Say your daughter is in the hospital on emergency status, your BFF calls, or your minister, and you're so upset and you ask for help not only because of her health but because she's there because of a serious problem after an abortion? And maybe she's a minor child, too? You're willing to have that information be accessible?
Please understand that when I say "you" I am *not* meaning you, personally. Not at all. I am using "you" in a theoretical sense for purposes of discussion.
And frankly, I have never known anyone who doesn't have any secrets at all. I've even lived part of my life in front of media (and while in media was a well-known "personality" with my face all over town!) and I can tell you--I'm open, I'm honest, and I have secrets that are none of anybody's business. Except those who I decide to confide in.
And today, no one keeps their worries and their personal conversations restricted only to face-to-face. That time is long past.
Sorry for the length, but I think that whatever bits of privacy are left to us are something that we shouldn't give away. I understand the "I have nothing to hide", as I've said that myself, in theory, but in reality--even something innocuous, if taken out of context, can sound awful.
Let's say I have a friend who's such an activist that friends laughingly refer to her as a "zoning law terrorist" because she gives the city heck all the time. So one day I say on the phone "I can't believe this! I gotta go 'cause I have to pick my terrorist friend up at the airport. She's only here long enough to drop off a package and then she's outta the country.
I'm speaking to a friend who's part of that circle. She knows who I'm taking about, a 75-year-old activist who's dropping off a package of care items for our prenatal unit and visiting friends before heading off to France for her annual vacation.
What comes out of that, that gets picked up and leaked is "Kat010 was overheard discussing plans for a terrorist to drop off a package." Well, kiss my reputation goodbye!
I know that sounds exaggerated--but it's not really in this day of snooping. And we all have personal conversations. We all have words that we use for kidding around in certain circles.
