Orson Wells was a prophet.

No. It was his time machine.
I'm gonna brush up on my reading!!!

Terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist.

Each one of you are just trying to scare the rest of us with these so called incursions into our supposed freedoms. John Ashcroft said that what you guys are pointing out are just "phantoms of lost liberty". So he must be right. He also said that people like you just aid the terrorists. So "J'accuse". You are all terrorists.

"He said city officials had studied the British surveillance system, which has more than 2 million cameras throughout the country, and were "intrigued by that model." "

The Prisoner.

[freeeee]

city officials had studied the British surveillance system, which has more than 2 million cameras throughout the country, and were "intrigued by that model.

When I visited England I saw these cameras and I was proud that I lived in a country that would never do such a thing.

I'm not so proud anymore.

[smith288]

Our ability to fight our own govt like the Revolutionary war is gone. Sad truth.

[Loopy]

I don't want to hear anything you have to say. You are a terrorist. John Ashcroft said so.

You should be locked up.

[Travis McGee]

It won't work. First, most of the cameras will be undetectable. Second, in most cases cameras will be in the view of other cameras. Anyone showing too much interest in the cameras will be suspected as a possible terrorist or thief planning an operation or heist.

Get your head right. You must learn to love Big Brother, Winston.

[concerned about politics]

My concern lies in the future use of these anti-terrorist tools by another administration who may not be so friendly to those who disagree with them.

Waco, Ruby Ridge.....

When the dome was reconstucted a couple of years ago, my guess was that cameras were installed in 360 degrees around the dome at that time. Anyone want to guess this did NOT happen?

"we have no choice but to accept greater use of this technology"

How about enforcing the laws that are already on teh books that do not need this technology? It seems the natural desire of people with little to do is to migrate to 1984.

[Loopy]

Oh, so you want to start a revolution eh. Terrorist! I denounce you! Consider yourself reported.

[Fred Mertz]

The sheeple in DC will welcome the cameras with open arms.

BAAAAA BAAAAAAAA BLEEEEEEET

[AAABEST]

Allow me to post the obligatory, inane, asinine, default statemet that is sure to pop up here from the idiots who can't see past their statist schnozolas.

If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about!

There, saved ya'll the trouble.

[callisto]

Do you have anything to add to this thread other than we are all terrorists for having concern over the possible loss of liberties and freedom bequeathed us from the Founders of nation? :)

[Rebelbase]

[nsmart]

we already have the unending, unwinnable war started.. the war against terror. What more could "1984" have asked for than this war?

When the "War on Drugs" was growing unpopular, I noticed that the word "terror" was becoming more popular.. soon, we were after "narco-terrrorists" and now we have the ultimate: The war on terror.

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

It's just keeps getting better and better.

[freeeee]

"In the context of Sept. 11, we have no choice but to accept greater use of this technology," Stephen Gaffigan, the head of the police department project, told the Journal.

Not only is he installing a Big Brother network, he's going to tell us how to feel about it.

Such galling presumption for a servant of the public. Methinks he doesn't know his proper place.

[Loopy]

What you are conspiring about is just "Phantoms of lost liberties" not real. This adminstration would NEVER allow anything to happen that could harm our freedom. Freedom and Liberty! That's what we're having the Northern Alliance and all sorts of indigenous revolutionaries in Iraq, Iran and North Korea fight for. If you can't see that, it is obvious that you are just some kind of trouble maker. A terrorist yourself. You probably deserve twenty years in jail.

[Rebelbase]

You are guilty of thought crime. Report to the re-education center immediatly!
