I can't use MY town as a typical example anymore than you can, because we obviously do not live in urban areas, or even heavily populated areas. The "confusion," if it was really that and not just your obstinance, was that when some of us mentioned the prevalence of security cameras and mall searches, you brushed it off as if we must somehow be mistaken, because you don't have cameras posted on the trees out there in the woods of Oregon (don't take that literally, I know you didn't actually say "trees."
. Same it my town, but I wasn't specifically or exclusively talking about MY town. Just as bupkus never specifically mentioned your home town, because none of us know what your home town is.
But most people, I am certain, understand the more general nature of the comments being made -- the Security State is growing rapidly, and yet, how much more secure are we when someone can get their hands on so much weapons and ammo, rig an apartment building to explode, and kill and hurt so many people and the Security State didn't have a clue it was happening? That's the point. Not whether the owls in your trees actually have cameras for eyes.
