Is it time to tune out, turn off, and drop away?

Just how long are we going to take this shit?

Petraeus says that web-connected gadgets will 'transform' the art of spying - allowing spies to monitor people automatically without planting bugs, breaking and entering or even donning a tuxedo to infiltrate a dinner party.

Linky and weep

Who do these people think they are? Exactly what gives them the idea the they have a right to do this?:rant:
It's over, this is it.

We're only 28 years behind.

The USA electorate gave them full open hand after 9/11, Patriot act etc etc.
The crazy just got worse from then on.
Looks like the bill of rights just got shredded ( further)

Nothing new really. Talk of chips in people died off as smartphones became popular. They gave us fabulous little toys and we voluntarily chipped ourselves.

No. No one is safe! There's a sentinel lamp post coming to street near you. Satellites, helicopters, Google and even your neighbors!

It's probable that is really started with ronnie. That's when the government really got going with the "discredit the grass roors" mentality.

We'll all be living in a virtual Panopticon soon, if not now.

I am thrilled and complemented by the fact that they want to watch me. I didn't know that I was such a fascinating guy. let's see what I did today

1) I Woke up
2) I had ham & eggs and a slice of toast as Sunday breakfast... Normally I just have either cereal or 1 egg.
3) I worked on some job related stuff.
4) I practiced my violin and worked on my intonation and my vibrato technique.
5) I took a walk. Stopped by the local wine store and bought a small bottle of Nikolai... I chatted with the local proprietor and a local customer. Headed for home. Stopped and had a friendly chat with a local cop who was on duty at the intersection.
6) Came home. It was hot in the sun. Put on the fan, cooled off, ate an orange and practiced the fiddle some more,
7) Put the fiddle away, took one of my RC helicopters out in the back and practiced hovering for the first time since last fall.
8) Came inside, did my laundry and am preparing for work tomorrow.
9) Will probably become tired and go to sleep over the next several hours.

I hope they find all that particularly interesting. But if they prefer, they are welcome to have my nearest street light, lamp post, or electronic device verify that what I said above is accurate.

I left out the details about "going to the bathroom". Perhaps that is what they find interesting ??

Holy crap, what a busy day. Spent most of it playing with Lightroom here; never left the house.

But, it's the principle of the deal.
