Mine are wide open, and I'm calling this guy's bluff. "Ad hominem?" No, he's setting for his opinions on a police matter, and specifically he poses himself as an expert on it. My point is his ideas, not something else about him personallly.
He's a loon. He thinks that for years that people had been pepper-spraying him in Hartford, Connecticut, in "plain clothes", so, therefore, they had to be the police. And instead of running to Cali or New York, he had to run to Sweden to avoid those crafty Hartford police. My opinion is he is a loon. And his point about one can't fool all the people all the time was a slip on his part, which the journalist politely and satirically put at the end of the article. Get it?
"If you aren't alarmed you aren't thinking. "
I'm alarmed so many here are susceptible to this guy's rhetoric.
"I don't want some $#@ deciding I'm a terrorist because I say something nasty about a politician. I don't want a neighbor with an axe to grind to use a secret phone call to the government to get me. Open your eyes."
Um, they can do that now. It regularly happens out of revenge and like motives. How will making a centralized system be worse? And where is the "neighbor on neighbor" bit? The program seems oriented on people in the transportation industry and such.
My eyes are wide open. Sure I question the messenger. P.S. Beware that old biddy down the street running Neighborhood Watch.
