Big Bro'
Just a small post before I am off to school: cell phones.
A year ago it was passed into Federal law that all newly activated cell phones must be 911 compliant. Well, that sounds nice doesn't it? Call 911 on your cell phone and they can find you to save the lives of your children, others and your own. I got to thinking though; what does his actually mean?
It means that each and every cell phone has a GPS inside of it, which is impossible to turn off. The person carrying the phone can be tracked right down to the inch of where they stand on this earth. It is not out of the realm of speculation that this persons position is recorded somewhere with dates and times as well.
Now, funny thing is, is that it is NOT Federal law to have 911 in every county. So, it IS Federal law to have a GPS in your phone for 911, but it is not law that there IS 911.
Not only can our conversations be wiretapped, listened to, and recorded, but now they can know where we are and when. They know what we are saying, and where we are. What is next? Knowing our thoughts? Making them a crime...like a-hmmmm, like a thought-crime? And this watchful government. This benevolent presence that wishes to keep us all safe. They are like a friendly older relative ready to do battle for us if we have our lunch taken by the bully. They are like a...well, maybe like a Big Brother to us. And They are Watching. Big Brother is watching.

Well, you know, if they'd call it "Big Brother" ... the American Government would have a lawsuit on their hands. However, I doubt they'd make a reality T.V. show about phone calls the government shouldn't have due to the constitution of the United States. Woops!
Another thing: people that are the nation's definition of "patriotic" think of terrorists all of the time. Mostly, on how to kill and/or stop them. However, conceivably, the government would find them guilty, but of what? Well, of thinking of Terrorists! So thus, I believe this is why they haven't, yet...
Beware the future!
WOW, LA LA LAND !!!
G-d, is that you checking in on my comments? I don't know what to say, maybe, except I'm flattered you take your time off to read what I have to say... or type. I mean, shouldn't you be somewhere more important, perhaps Iraq, or somewhere in the Middle East? However, if this is the Top Elf... well I'm not so flattered... same for Santa; shouldn't you be burnt up in the atmosphere by now?
Anyyywayyys, I have yet to see "La La Land" as you so very well put it, Mr. Anonymous. Were you exclaiming that you'd just visited it? In that case, perhaps you should make a website of it, for those of us that haven't been there yet, I hear it's quite nice this time of year from some people I know.
Sol, I just hope you know I love you...and to Mr. La la land...I bet they have never read George Orwell's "1984." They obviously don't even know how to get the caps lock off!
