Seriously the drone thing worries me. I see so much room for intrusive abuse by government and even worse by criminals. They just OKed an airport about 8 miles from here as one of the major test sites for  testing and development of new drone technology. I can see people around here getting sick of being spied on by noisy little UFOs real fast. No more project cars hidden in the back yard, no privacy by the pool, no sneaky little unpermitted building projects. Good luck if you step outside with a gun or have BB or pellet rifle practice in the yard. Won't even be able to pee off the porch. :(

Yeah...Sounds like Big Brother is closer than we think. Here is an interesting commentary.

Big brother.

My big brother quit harassing me when I threw a butcher knife at his foot and it stuck in the kitchen floor.

I'm not sure how we get out of this 24/7  surveillance, If it's possible at this point. The people in power want hang on to it and use our own safety as a shield.
Never underestimate the power of a lubricant.

I just can't believe the FAA is involved in this. When will they just leave us alone with this nit-picking sh*t?
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Right on..I'm anxious to see where this country is going beginning with this years elections. For one I'm getting involved here in NY (state).  May have mentioned it, but NYC historically dominates the entire states politics. NYC also has a foreign born population of about 36%!!  These are people not even born under our constitution, they come here to flee their governments, refuse to assimilate with our society - then want us to assimilate to the culture & politics they fled from? Wake up NY!

Sad to say that Big Brother has been with us for awhile.  Every street corner seems to have surveillance cameras...just look what you can do with Google now.  Jeez...it's terrible.  But really, beer delivery to fishermen...what's wrong with that?
There has been a public outcry here in Canada about our idiot government using drones.  Not sure what has become of that.  Since the money comes out of the public purse I figure we should be able to nix that stupid idea.
