5. Honestly, that's your worry?
Well let me take this a little further for you by using an example you might be able to relate to. In some states showing your genitalia in public (yes, peeing in public qualifies) can get you convicted of a sex offense. I wouldn't worry too much about his pic showing up on Google Earth as much as I would about finding his pic on a sex offender's list.

13. For the public peeeeers....

Google takes concerns about its services very seriously. Please use the link below to report concerns about an inappropriate street view.

2. If we don't stop fascism, one day it will be wholly ubiquitous
so we need to either embrace or exile it from this country.

9. I don't do what if's.
The use of the drone is supposition. That some wish to give it immediate dastardly status is their problem. Those wingers took it and ran with it...it has to be bad, get that revolution going.

19.  I don't trust Texas with anything.
Nobody said it was good or bad. The uses are unknown. But the wingers are scared so it can't be all bad.

30. Don't be fooled by the left/right thing...
In a many ways, this is a manufactured "dichotomy". The people you have to watch are the ones pulling the power strings.

6. I know well the owner of that company, he spends all his time spewing
on an RC site, his extreme Libertarian rants, all day, every day. Deplorable character.

24. Most "Libertarians" I've met believe that...
THEY are members of the Rich, White Overlord Class.
They just haven't gotten their money yet. LOL

They mistakenly believe that the Police State is going to protect THEM.
Oddly enough, most of the Policemen believe this too.
Boy, are THEY in for a rude awakening.
The Top 1% OverLord Class only stretches so far.
ALL the rest....ALL.... are simply pawns and labor.

25. This one is getting rich off war.
His justification for war is, given that it is a violation of negative rights , tortured.

26. "Rich" is realtive.
If he isn't "Bush Rich" .....RICH enough to BUY sanctuary in a place like Dubai, he is just another pawn...just like me. "They" thought they would have a sanctuary in a tropical paradise like Paraguay, BUT the Oligarchs got thrown out last year, and the new Leftist government isn't going to welcome RICH, White War Criminals..LOL.


Most who think they are RICH because they can afford to buy a home in a posh gated community with a Upper Class Golf Course are fooling themselves. They will be first on The MENU.

33. Pot sniffing sensors, infrared, possibly even xray scanners....


But one thing for sure ...sooner or later someone is going to get their jollies every night spying on women.

It has already happened with the body scanners at Heathrow in England, and things have not even been in use a year yet.
