Via Drudge. I won't be visiting Chicago. I would rather a terrorist blow me up than every single time I pick my nose, some geek squad is watching and posting it on the internet. Safety is great. Target concerned areas, and we know we have less privacy.

EVERYWHERE is what they want. No thanks Big Brother. I will not live under you.

[Gantz]

"Cameras on every block"? Gee, I feel safer already.

[RightWhale]

Who will be watching the cameras? Seems like they would do as well to station a patrolman on every corner. Of course, that would mean they would be out in the weather instead of sitting at a desk with coffee and donuts at hand.

[libertarianPA]

It's not enough that the libs want all your money. They also want to keep an eye on you at every waking moment.

Did he say 2016 or 1984?

[Joe 6-pack]

They could save a lot of money on cameras if they'd just declare martial law and shoot on-site anybody caught outside after sundown.

Perhaps they could start with Cabrini Green, and then implement city wide once resistance to the new safety measures has been completely suppressed....

How will dead people vote?

"Gee, I only saw 100 people on the monitor enter the polling facility... how did we get 1000 democrat votes?"

EVERYWHERE is what they want. No thanks Big Brother. I will not live under you.

It is coming to that, isn't it? We can't target the problem population (Muslims), and so everyone will have to suffer the yoke of tyrrany. I fear the day will come that the America I once knew will only exist in small towns that are a hundred or more miles from the corrupting influence of her cities.

[karnage]

Ugh.

I wrote a column several years ago called "The Police State We Live In," about a friend's harassment by the Chicago PD. It was bad then. Even worse now.

[Crooked Constituent]

Where are all the civil liberties complainers?

Oh, nevermind, it isn't a Bush proposal.

[lmailbvmbipfwedu]

Remember Meigs Field.............

[white trash redneck]

More guns (in citizen hands), fewer cameras.

[isom35]

how about cameras on the people counting the votes, and the mayor's office?

[unixfox]

These cameras will work about as well as the signs posted outside of schools that say NO WEAPONS OR DRUGS ALLOWED ON PROPERTY!

Yep, that keeps the bad guys away.

[No.6]

Liberals live and act as if they watched _The Prisoner_ during the '60s and thought to themselves, hey, yea, that Village, that's the way to make things!

Be seeing you, indeed.

[bamahead]

What's the problem?
If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear from all the cameras...

It ain't just Daley - all the pols seem to love the government cameras. Better to keep an eye on the little people (and political enemies), I suppose.

I say ban them.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Congratulations, Mr. Orwell. You were only 32 years off.

[fortunecookie]

Yikes! Big brother is watching, or wants to be. Creepy. I'd love to go to the Olympics, even in Chicago, but this will change things for me.

And Daley has done so well with crime thus far, just look at how the gun control has stymied crime. (end sarcasm, begin laughing)

[Redcloak]

[Malesherbes]

It was either in "1984" or "Brave New World" (I tend to mix them up) that the television sets in every home were two-way. While you were watching your favorite soap-opera, your favorite soap opera was watching you. A kind of "interactive" entertainment.

[B Knotts]

They need cameras in Daley's office to watch for corruption.
