Eventually, nothing will be private & thats exactly what the owners want.
Its called complete control at all times.
It's also called the end to freedom and privacy.

Yes that is definitely going to happen sooner or later.

The US is on its way to making 1984 a reality. Well it already is if you think about it. The country is controlled by the military industrial complex and driven by powerful corporate interest groups. The population is deliberately kept ignorant, dumbed down and distracted by being fed daily propaganda on channels like Fox news. This is a disturbing trend, and all efforts must be undertaken to ensure it is reversed.

Waiting for the nanny nuts to trot out that time honored excuse-"If you aren't doing anything wrong, you should have nothing to hide"
Stalin would approve.

I would say the country is controlled by government bureaucrats and politicians. They have our money, our freedom and control how we live our lives.

Fox controls nobody. People choose to watch Fox just like MSNBC. Watching those channels is not controlling anybody. Our government is controlling the people, and telling them how to live their lives.

Good luck on reversing the big government trend.

If you have been to the US, you would know there are huge swaths of land that is quite rural and would make constant surveillance quite impossible. Oh and complete hogwash about our country controlled by the military industrial complex.

Besides, I was always under the impression that Europe had much more cameras to spy on its citizens.

Better stay away from my business then...Cameras everywhere...They have aided in the conviction of 4 thieves and two vandals in the last two years....Great tool, and I think those small drones will be too...They will make police work a lot safer...

I don't know why you would object, unless you are doing something illegal...Are you?

Fox is just a tool like all of the talk show & radio hosts & our politicans are puppets for the true owners.
When 43% of the wealth in this country is owned by 1%, there is nothing they wouldn't do to maintain control of the rest of us.

The drones are getting better and better. These ain't like cameras mounted in the streets.

These "can see everything."

With Air Force's Gorgon Drone 'we can see everything'

And there it is. Go ahead and forget about our rights in favor of that feeling of security. But then again, you're from Canada; what rights are you afforded in Canada against illegal search and seizure?
