This isn’t just 1984.
It’s 1984 with 2013 technology.
All good Americans like that Big Brother is watching. We love Big Brother, and continuous surveillance is necessary to protect us from terrorists and thoughtcriminals.
Ungood Americans only worry about Big Brother’s surveillance because it detects their thoughtcrimes.
Doubleplusungood Americans like Ted Cruz and Emmanuel Goldstein try to make good Americans lose faith in Big Brother.
That’s fine fine Newspeak from both of you. Your chocolate rations will be raised to 25 grams for it.
An intersection up in Tomball, Tx has 11 cameras mounted in every direction.
This is bizarre. Montgomery co. Sheriffs office flying drone around the county, but insist their not used to spy on folks.
Cop cars retrofitted w/license plate scanners in various directions so squad cars can cruise through parking lots and rapidly process Tx. plates that have been reflectively enhanced and contain water marks for vision recognition.
Tx drivers lic. renewals now require both thumb prints at the time of renewal and digital image of your face for facial recognition capabilities.
I thought this was all conspiracy stuff....nope. TXDOT website details bio-metric efforts here in Texas.
Now the SCOTUS has put it's stamp on DNA swabbing of all folks arrested whether charged, convicted...or not.
It's all designed to keep the public safe. Well...1984, here we are.

Didn't know that. I guess it's something else I can hold against Perry's regime.
BTW- sandpaper does wonders on fingerprints.

Great idea, one problem though. It’s digital and the lady sitting on the other side of the counter has a monitor with your finger print thirty times it’s size. Altering the print would have her calling out to one of those grain fed officers standing off in the distance.
By omission!...Ask your local school boards...listen carefully to the answers.....Then read “Government Nannies” by Cathy Duffy...Its about “Outcome based education”
I've been thinking about an eyepatch too (for that rock that hit me in the eye).
That’s too funny. See, that’s why I’m glad you’re on our team. Good stuff.
