And freedom is slavery.
Does anyone know if there is any legislation being talked about to
prevent these cameras from being used for other than their claimed purpose
of catching red light runners? Whether or no, as has been previously
pointed out, people are being made, little by little, used to
being watched. I personally don't care if the power behind the camera is
government or corporate, I'm against it.
When I became part of the 'cryonics crowd,' I made a deal with myself that
I wouldn't become frightened enough of death to live a longer life less
worth living. That means I'm still willing to sacrifice my life for
others if I see the need, and that I'm very cautious about sacrificing
freedom for the sake of security.
