So Now I Can't Have privacy on:

[leftyladyfrommo]

My cell phone

My home phone?

My computer

And my picture is being taken just about everywhere I go?

Next there will be someone watching me from inside my TV.

Guys, this is getting just too creepy for words.

[truebrit71]

1. Yup. Great to live in the land of the "free" right?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....:eyes:

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. So what else is being tapped?

[JuniperLea]

10. Use your ATM

And they will know everything you buy, down to what toilet paper you use.

I'm sure the info linked to the magnetic strip on the back of your driver's license is updated frequently.

I'm sure your cell phone tells them where you are.

[leftyladyfrommo]

11. I don't use ATM - but you are right.

And also credit cards.

Maybe we should all go back to using cash.

And library books.

[JuniperLea]

16. They know what books you check out

so you will have to read them in the library... but I'm sure the cameras will see the titles anyway.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. Brown paper covers on all books!

I may even read Lolita. No one would ever know if I had a brown paper cover on it.

[sarcasmo]

3. Welcome to America under a Dictator. This will all be nothing once

the new Dictator declares Martial Law.

[JuniperLea]

4. Wear a burka

And turn off all your electricity.



Oh, and wear your brown suit at all times. The armband is in the mail.



Instead of DU, we may have to start meeting in dark rooms in back allies. Secret knock and handshake time.

[leftyladyfrommo]

5. How about a smoky downstairs joint

We could be like the old beatniks. That might be kind of fun.

[JuniperLea]

12. Wow, man. That's like, heavy.

Sounds good to me! I'll take up the bongos, work on my prose and learn to love drinking copious amounts of thick, black java.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. All Right!

I want to wear all black and have a beret. And black tights.

That is just too cool.

And smoke cigarettes - how much of an outlaw would that make me. Huh?

[hwmnbn]

19. I'm there!!....

what time? *hwmnbn snaps fingers repeatedly* :smoke:

[leftyladyfrommo]

30. Wouldn't that be so much fun?

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. I'm not wearing a Burka until men have to wear them, too.

[JuniperLea]

14. They may want to

Haha! That would be a sneaky way to let gays get married;)

Maybe I should get into the fake beard and mustache business.

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Good idea.

If everyone wears a burka no one will have anyway of knowing who anyone else is. Let them take pictures! Hah!

[woodsprite]

22. The basement of the House of Reps seems to work.

[xchrom]

7. we are the post privacy generation --

no matter how old we are.

ain't it grand?

[Cobalt Violet]

8. Have you been to a "free speech zone" yet?

:sarcasm:

[Village Idiot]

9. These are the "freedoms" the terrorists hate the West for.

If we get rid of the freedoms, they won't hate us anymore, right?

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. Without these freedoms there won't be any "we" to hate.

"We will be gone."

[gizmo1979]

20. I'm going to attach a Webcam

to my ass so they can kiss it whenever they want.I can't believe we've become the Soviet Union.This sucks.

[woodsprite]

21. You know those digital tvs/boxes they're gonna make us go to?

Well, what would stop them from putting "Onstar" in that. You may be closer to being right than you could even imagine.

[Cobalt Violet]

23. What is "Onstar"?

It sounds familiar but I'm not sure.

[NoPasaran]

24. Marketing's new name for the telescreen

[woodsprite]

28. OnStar is that communication they put in cars now. It detects

when the car has been in an accident, if your airbags have gone off, you can ask for directions if you're lost, etc. and a live person can ask you if you're OK, let you know they've called the local police or ambulance, etc. If they can do that with my car without me calling them on a cell phone, then they can do the same thing with new TVs.

Just a thought. My tinfoil may need polishing a bit.

[Gormy Cuss]

25. If you think it's creepy now..

Just wait a few years when many consumer products have RFIDs.

[OneBlueSky]

26. did you hear the one about the school that was installing cameras . . .

in the student bathrooms? . . . don't have the article handy, but I kid you not . . .

[sandnsea]

29. They installed trackers on kids for chrissake

Some schools I can half understand cameras in the bathrooms, outside the stalls ONLY. But trackers on kids?? Ugh. Still, it seems to me that the more of this stuff we do, the worse crime and violence gets. Must be some sort of sociological eplanation.

[guidod]

27. Tell your elected officials to get

a spine and fight back instead of saying they're sorry all of the time.

[leftyladyfrommo]

31. Hear! Hear!
