Er... thanks. I think.
You're for surveillance .... how very punk. Where do you live that you need cameras on the street to catch all the kidnappers? They must be easy to spot. They're the ones with sacks on their backs. You know, the sacks that are kicking and crying.
But seriously, if you accept something today, it will move forward a little further tomorrow. Ask someone old if it was ever in their imagination, vocabulary that "If only one day we could all be watched by the state. Then we'd be free .. be safe!" It wasn't. Read Orwell and the reception of 1984. It was universally seen as horrifying. Now we are living those times and if you're against it, there's something wrong with you! I don't know, I was raised by my grand-parents and so I have an old fashioned view of the world. One where the government shouldn't watch what you do, where you go and what you say, think and read all the time
Only the politically apathetic are safe in a surveillance world. Anyone holding opinions or who campaigns is in for a lot of s**t though. I knew some anti vivisectionists in London and when you walked down the street with them, just chatting, buying a sandwich, the CCTV cameras in Camden High Street would follow them/us all the way down the street. One after another. They were friendly types, just petitioners not anything more hardcore. I could go on but so much to do ... think about it Joe.
