So let's put a camera in the bathrooms. Why? So no one plants a bomb. Let's put a camera in stores. Why? So no one plants a bomb. Let's put a camera in front of the mall. Why? So no one plants a bomb. Hell let's go for true National Security and put a camera in your house. Why? So you don't make a bomb. You don’t want to die in some TERRORIST bombing, do you?

I disabled them from my car already and put my phone in a metal box when travling about. Its not anyones damned business where I am or how many miles I drive. I will not have RFIDs anywhere.

It's amazing what we've allowed to happen. But it reminds me of an issue of the Onion I read a while back... "Nation's Liberals Suffer From Outrage Fatigue". It doesn't seem like trying to persuade people that this is wrong is really doing any good. It's just a personal victory if it happens, because most people are too self-involved to have any motivation to muster the ingenuity required to take on this monsterous beast we've created. And as a result, nothing is protecting us. We're just squabbling with ourselves. The system just keeps plugging away, doing god knows what (as Rittenhouse said "vaguely defined laws"), while we argue over whether we care or not. I mean, does everyone recognize this? Our main argument is whether or not we should be worried. I rarely hear people arguing over whether or not they should take any kind of action against what is going on. ...it's sad. ... we are sheep.

If I carry it into a MRI, then douse it with a blast of static, what the heck? If I hose it in the microwave, so what? When they installed a camera in my high school (1972), we responed by conducting our laser experiments in the hall. Amazing how every amp all the way to the monitors can be smoked... So I have nothing to hide while in the toilet either, I just don't agree that I should allow somebody - anybody to watch unless I so chose.

Never! Technology is creating a generation of bureaucratic peeping toms. We are no longer free if our every movement can be scrutinized, the next gadget out would be a scanner that would enable the user to stalk anyone from the comfort of their lazy boy. Everone should shout: "I'm not going to take it anymore". Not on my car! Never! Technology is creating a generation of bureaucratic peeping toms.

Who of us has NEVER speeded because we were running late somewhere? Who of us have ALWAYS reported EVERY SINGLE CENT with 100% accuracy on our taxes? In short, to borrow a phrase from Jesus, Who among us is without sin? Ayn Rand wrote some great stuff on how the government can turn ANYONE into a criminal simply by creating a vast morass of laws that are vaguely enough defined that it becomes virtually impossible to know, understand, and comply with them all. Gus’s problem is that he instinctively TRUSTS GOVERNMENT regardless of the circumstances. This is exactly the attitude that results from a generation of people sitting mindlessly in front of TV cop shows and being shown ONLY the situations where the cops arrested guilty people. After a few years of this brainwashing, is it any surprise that we have a conviction rate of approximately 90% when these kind of “Government-is-always-right� zombie-heads show up for jury duty? Fortunately, our country’s founding fathers were smarter, and set up our constitution with one overriding theme in mind…namely, you can’t blindly trust people simply because they work for the government. Our whole constitution was designed as a LIMITATION ON GOVERNMENTAL POWER. A person who is anti-constitution (a/k/a anti-American), will naturally see distrust of government as some deep seated desire to hide horrific evil, but that is simply their paranoia. Many people dislike traffic cameras for much more mundane reasons such as not wanting surprise pictures of them picking their nose showing up on the Internet or God knows where. I suspect that Gus’s “holier-than-thou� attitude about not having anything to hide is really nothing but hypocrisy. I suspect that Gus uses envelopes to hide the content of letters to his loved ones, and that Gus’s house probably has curtains to hide the view of him walking through his house in his under shorts at 3AM to grab a midnight snack. Anyone who TRULY believes that they have absolutely nothing to hide should run for political office…even if they lose the race, the reality check they get from having investigators scrutinize their past would make them wiser about claiming to have “nothing to hide�.
