You just have to go to Drudge and take yer chances.

[msnimje]

Hmmm, Have they no ACLU in GB?

[paulat]

FYI...Drudge's source is on JimRob's "nono" list.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Great, and we will have Freepers who say if you're not breaking the law why does it matter?

[paulat]

Every move you make...every breath you take....

...they'll be watching you.....

[TCats]

Agree. And what will they say when the Laws are oppressive? IMO too many fail to take the long-term view on these matters.

[Pro-Bush]

Beware, the NWO Camera Network!!

[p23185]

Well goodness - isn't this a bit much? Certainly a lot more intrusive than an NSA supercomputer sifting through millions of comm channels looking for words like "bomb", "nuke", "missile", etc. Why should people be concerned that NSA is monitoring all comm channels that have a foreign origination or destination? It have been going on since the cold war - get used to it. They are not "listening to your conversation" or "reading your e-mail", UNLESS you are contacting the bad guys directly. Then you might have cause for concern and maybe you should get a ACLU lawyer and sue the Government for your civil liberties. Please do so, that way we know who the enemy is - come forward.

And then in the same breath they will claim that they are against a totalitarian government.

[cynicom]

Maybe Bush can borrow that from Brits and have it put in Patriot Act...

Why not..If you not being naughty, you have nothing to worry about, right?

[Mears]

Somehow I find this frightening.

[sheik yerbouty]

You are a thought criminal!

[paulat]

Of course, the cameras will not be necessary once everyone has GPS....or will they?...hmmm....

[MediaAnalyst]

The MSM has been totally derelict on this issue. They spend their time paranoid about BUUUSH spying on a couple of hundred Muslim terrorists, but don't seem to have any problem with this type of reality, and its for more draconian threats.

For example, once your movements are tracked and entered into a database, it becomes very easy for anyone with access to know where you are. Perhaps your boss, your friend, a political opponent, a jilted lover, a stalker. Perhaps theft rings get set up. Real simple, have the G-Man verify that the occupants of said house are at work, and that they are far from work, G-Man calls up his buddy on the outside, and they have run of the house.

Sure, it can be done now, but it's hard work. With this system, it's just a few clicks of the keyboard.

But we too will get this soon, and those "children" mentioned in an earlier post will "thank" us for throwing them into a true Orwellian world.

But what the heck, it'll make tolling much easier, so the public will generally support it, and the MSM will lead the charge.

[Gordongekko909]

I don't think so, the "A" in ACLU stands for "American." Which is strange, seeing as how it is anything but.

[Pro-Bush]

I am not paranoid!!

[Paul C. Jesup]

I remember Bart was proven right at the end of that episode.

I believe the counterfeit license plate business will soon be booming in Britain.

DANG!!! How soon can we get our website up and running??? Gotta get in before Amazon....
