(11,464 posts)well, we are posting on a worldwide board without too much censorship, unless one poster attempts to silence another poster through frivilous use of the jury system here.
(much like the frivilous lawsuits by Orly Taitz or the frivilous investigations Daryl Isaa uses.
Cameras are not saying to be a pod person
Being scared because of mass NRA gun people using their guns to overthrow the government are.
I for one would not go to Arizona at this time.
I would go to Times Square and when I drive in Manhattan, I know there are streets with
cameras looking for those running red lights.
Why would I run a red light anyhow? Red means stop. Yellow means caution. Green means go.
We are not in the never existed fabled Rockwell pictures. This is 2013 and well, 1984 was written decades ago and is not relevant to today's times.
NOBODY ever forsaw the WTC, and NO it is not rightwing to bring that up.
Especially as I myself used to be in that building every day in the 1970s, and every summer, spent time at lunch time with the free concerts they had there about 10 weeks a year, four days a week. So it is personal with me.
It is very easy for someone outside a major city to look at things and figure it won't happen near them(and normally it doesn't.)(and to some extent, neither does the major street crime).
But the run of Gun murderers lately indeed bring it home to other places where it could be
any street any town USA.
and no other nation has this, with this frequency.
When our kids and grandkids are in mortal danger every day of the year, well, a little inconvience is acceptable and again should be expected.
Not a school book about big brother, which is so 1960s and old school in itself anyhow.
This is a whole different world.
And if say, somebody takes it upon themselves to abuse the camera system, well,
it seems everyone has a camera, and it is brought to light, and it may take a while, but
change happens, a person is fired, and that specific problem won't happen again.
It is not because of the camera, it is because one specific isolated problem.
It's like people believing Wakefield, and not getting their kids vaccinated, and bringing back
illness thought eradicated for decades and real kids and others have now died because of it.
same thing.
FDR said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
and fear of cameras is fear itself.
imho feel free to disagree with it
