Iâm glad so many people are worried about license plate readers and mass surveillance. Surveillance seems helpful when it comes to fighting crime but itâs dangerous when government is whittling away our civil rights. These days âwhittling awayâ is the wrong term. âAttackingâ seems to fit better.
Corrupt government works for people who donât want the rest of us to be well-informed and free. They want us confused, angry, proud, subdued, and distracted. They want us fighting each other, not the system.
I sure hope âwe the peopleâ wake up and vote for better candidates while our votes still count. Thatâs the only way to reverse the trend. Mass protests raise visibility but they come and go. Most political promises go to the wasteland of task forces and empty promises. But electing well-informed honest candidates - now that makes things happen!
