The mistake is comparing the personal email of an ordinary person to that of a very wealthy former President and then drawing conclusions from that comparison. The ordinary person might have a free gmail account supplied by a giant corporation on the giant corporation&#8217;s computers. Gmail stores email that the giant corporation reads to look for clues as to what they might be able to sell you.<\/p>\n<p>The Clintons&#8217; email was set up on a private computer server in their private home while Bill Clinton was President. The home and the server is protected by a Secret Service contingent dedicated to that one task. The State Department probably has inspected and vouched for Hillary Clinton&#8217;s private system as opposed to the ordinary person&#8217;s free email which we already know is read by the supplier of the system.<\/p>\n<p>This same error is made when people draw conclusions from comparing a family budget to that of the federal government which has the sole power of creating the money supply in this country. I wonder if people think about what would happen if they tried to pay their bills with money they created themselves. Might there be a difference in how to operate the two vastly different systems?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Globe has the letter to the editor, Hillary Clinton\u2019s e-mail practices raise nagging security concerns.
