I don't support the big brother cameras everywhere, either. We are creating a society of people that depend on someone else to make their decisions and police their actions. We are teaching our kids that freedom is dangerous and not important. So we get an entire generation that values only a false sense of safety and that will sell away any liberty to get it. I'm not sure how you can't see the connection. I assume it's because you don't want to.

I don't see this the way you do because by your own statements you are lumping ALL surveillance into the big brother category. Not every type of surveillance is bad. I have cameras looking around my property. That isn't bad. I believe in private individuals being able to use security cameras in their homes and businesses because I believe in individual rights and I also believe in individuals being able to secure their property.

When government requires us to do it, or forces us to be under surveillance and there is no ability to say no, that's a different context. I am unsure why YOU cannot understand the difference between govt-enforced surveillance and private individuals using the same tech in their own homes and vehicles. Try not lumping all security things into one big bowl because they all don't belong together.
