LIFE WITH BIG BROTHER: Census GPS-tagging your home's front door
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | May 5, 2009 | Bob Unruh

Coordinates being taken for every residence in nation

According to an online Yahoo program, the Global Position System coordinates for the White House, probably one of the best-known publicly-owned buildings in the world, are 38.898590 Latitude and -77.035971 Longitude. And since you know that, it's no big deal for the White House to know the coordinates for your front door, is it?

Some people think it is, and are upset over an army of some 140,000 workers hired in part with a $700 million taxpayer-funded contract to collect those GPS readings for every front door in the nation.

This whole thing smacks of intrusion into every American’s privacy, what we have left of it.

So... they’ll have the coordinates of your domecile and your social security number, plus all banking information, with your income level and career choice; soon they’ll be taking DNA samples and a retina scan. Can it be long into the future before the U. S. Government Proctologist is checking things out, and they require you to submit your hat size, your shoe size, and the length of your johnson?

Can’t they just figure it out from Google maps?

Never mind. With the incresasing centralization of all medical records on government computer mainframes, they probably already know the length of your johnson.

We thought it was interesting that twice now someone has pulled into the driveway to do a sort of census.

They do not come up to the door, just pull in the driveway. Maybe they don’t come to the door because of our German Shepherd.

Oh no, you don't think they'll make it public do you...

We should stand up to this. One thing Britain did right was refuse Google’s intrusion and we should do the same. We didn’t elect this kind of nonsense.

Now since the census is a constitutional obligation of the government anything they consider interference might be illegal.

Actually, I’m sorta hoping they will - with my massive endowment, I’ll no doubt become one of the most famous and sought-after men in America - overnight! ;-)

Unless His Obamminess is planning on dropping a JDAM onto every front door in America, what’s the point?! This is a waste of money paying a bunch of bureaucrats to do absolutely useless work.

Never mind... I think that I just answered my own question.

I was out in the yard when the census worker came to do this for our place.

I started to engage him in dialogue . . . he was her maybe 5-10 minutes for some reason . . . I stopped short and just noted that he probably didn’t want me to start ranting about the government.

His comment was that if you really wanted to understand how awful the government was, you ought to work for it.

I noted he was right, having been in the military.

Perhaps because of our dog, when he did the GPS thing on his hand held computer, he was probably 15 feet or so from our front door.

They won’t care about the length of your johnson as long as you submit to neutering.

LOL, I guess it is. When you live in the Outback of PA you need a loud barking alarm system.
