Impressive and scary at the same time

Recommended Posts

Most likely it would go on under anyone's watch. I expect the three branches of government are increasingly being left out of the loop. [:/]

Not most likely, it has been going on for almost 100 years, the technology is just advancing at an unbelievable pace. After 911, The Bush administration accelerated the pace, they did so with the best of intentions, it was a scary time.

Everything seems much more spooky if you toss in Obama's name.

Nonsense. Once we get a good God loving republican in there, this type of tech will never be allowed to develop.

I would wager they will destroy any of this sort of technology to protect individual privacy.

I disagree with this.

I don't think they had "best intentions" at all. They knew that the sheep were scared and would agree to intrusions on their civil liberties that would not have been allowed otherwise.
They further took advantage of that fear and started the war with Iraq.

Obama and the anti-gun crowd tried to do the exact same thing this past spring. Take advantage of the sheep being afraid of the scary black rifles and get them banned. Fortunately, it didn't work.

I'm not normally in the business of defending Bush, but I really don't think that he was trying to figure out a way the government, 15 years down the road, could start snooping on Americans from 30,000 ft. I think the price of the technology started to really drop over the years and then it began to be realistic for domestic use.

I agree 100% with you on Iraq.

Taking the "scary black rifles" away was never even a serious proposition, at most they tried for universal background checks and banning large capacity clips, and that was never even seriously considered.

The Messiah has been in office for four years. He has four more to go. But thats OK we' ll continue blaming it in Republicans.



What a stupid statement.

Once Pandora's Box was opened, this kind of thing was inevitable.
