Nobody Wins; If you haven’t seen these cars…they are coming to your neighborhood soon. Real moving ogles from Google---the next best way to make sure that every single hair on your little “
muggle” head will be recorded, and then sent up to the
Google Earth satellites in space, for use by anyone who cares to lock on.
But these moving car cameras will not be used for security, or crime chasing…
oh no. No pretensions here: just for entertainment and catching that spouse at the hotel, who said he (or she) was going bowling. The divorce rate must be kept intact.
Today on the
Drudge Report, there was a story by
ABC news that according to some survey, 71% of the people think cameras up on every corner is a good thing. It will prevent crime.
I thought---
please don’t tell me there are that many stupid people.
Right. Just what I want when a burglar breaks into my house and tries to kill me---a corner government camera.
I’ll take a $300 shotgun over a $30,000 camera any day of the week.
I certainly hope that my corner “camera” gets my killer's image after I’m dead so that the police can catch the guy. Never mind how easy it would be for the “burglar” to disguise himself.
And how many “
White woman is killed in home: suspect caught on camera! See at 10!” news stories have we seen in the last year?
Yes, this “
It’s for your own safety.” has been sold to the public. I wish I could say that it is hard
not to believe that we are all doomed…but the truth is, I’m afraid to say; the American public has bought this idiotic, big brother excuse.
Just the other day, as I was driving with my girlfriend down a local street, looking at all the brand new cameras being put up on every single intersection, which we were told was to stop people from running through red lights, thereby saving lives…
And I asked her what she thought.
“
Oh, it’s a good thing. I really think it will help.”
Okay, so I won’t ask her for advice, just a game of tennis.
Yes, she is so brainwashed that when they put a camera on her house, and tell her guns are needed no more because they now have a camera on her house, she will hand over all her guns…Something tells me she
doesn’t even own one.
This nobody proceeded to tell her that not
only are these cameras making lots of money sending out tickets, they are also causing more accidents than ever before, because people are so scared, sometimes they
slam on their brakes, afraid of going through a yellow/red light and having to tell their kid he cannot have a new hockey stick due to the fact that mommy got a $500 dollar ticket.
How stupid are we? I’m beginning to wonder.
While Congress debates the “spying” powers of Gonzales, (Not mentioning the fact that Bill Clinton built the big NSA program to spy on citizens and used it more for that, than spying on bin Laden when he was in office.) NOBODY in Congress is concerned about all the spying cameras being built, at the taxpayers great expense, in every single city in the United States.
In fact, nobody in the United States is saying…one word. Where am I…in the Twilight Zone?
I don’t know about you, but whatever I say in my e-mail...
doesn’t creep me out as bad as knowing that someone can watch me in my back yard sunbathing, and trace my every move.
Let’s say I go to the quick shop for a Mountain Dew, I will feel like a criminal…too many calories. As I am happily walking out the door some camera will say, “You there, you have had too many sodas today.” (Yes, some camera’s can talk.)
And
isn’t it funny that now when we have open borders---in the Muslims neighborhoods, the Mosques, or the poor blacks neighborhoods filled with drug lords…you will have a hard time finding these cameras.
Are there cameras in the Latino crime areas in Los Angles? The ones on the border are really doing a terrific job...aren't they?
You don’t read about this ominous Orwellian move from our government anywhere… and the only one who I see that is knocking on big brother’s door about the subject is Matt Drudge.
Every single columnist in the world should be shouting about it.
Instead, most all were silent when Joe Lieberman said just the other day, “The Brits have something smart going on in England.” Which means, those clever cameras, over 4 millions of them, are actually talking to the poor British citizens and giving warnings to them how to behave.
I think if a camera actually talked to me, I would not only give it the finger, I might take up cussing in Nigerian.
In most communities around here, the cameras were not a debatable issue. The cameras, on top of ten-stories high poles just went up, over night--- really. Over night. Not a word was said, anywhere.
Not much scares me, but that did. It’s like you woke up one day, went to work, and saw about 18 pyramids constructed all over your highway, and everyone acted as if nothing had happened.
And as if to put you off guard, the first ones erected had the American flag on the top. Wow--- to say I was pissed off when seeing
that slap in the face is an understatement. Good thing no one else was in the car.
Nothing is more non-American than spying on your own citizens.
Here, in a community that just lost its biggest tax revenue…a Ford Plant closing down, we all of a sudden have the millions of dollars to put up a camera on every traffic light.
Who’s paying for all this?
Okay, they can come into your home, without you knowing about it. They can get all your records…any records, without you knowing about it---all because they are protecting us. Even the library can’t tell you who wants to know what books you’re reading.
Well, until
they actually guard our borders, I don’t buy their "intervention tool" program.
It may not be my generation that stops this insanity. But, here in my neighborhood, some kids are going around with bee-bee guns and shooting out car windows. The cameras haven’t stopped this, it’s not important I guess.
But, someday, some kid will get the fun idea to shot out the lenses on all the cameras.
And if that kid is wearing a mask of the great patriot Joe Lieberman, and gets on the local news, this nobody will not say a word, I promise.
Like the
government who put them up...I will
remain vigilantly silent.
And then I will put an American flag on my head.
