This is why, at random times I look to the skies, and either smile or provide the image analyst a single digit estimate of their intelligence.
And soon theyll turn into TVs and Screens and then we'll rename ourselves Oceana and then well all worship Big Brother... George Orwell eat your heart out.. 0_0
Whoever is watching me sure has an easy if boring, job. I can hear the status repot to his boss now: "Yes sir, I can report that the lazy bum is still sitting in that chair. I don't think those chores his wife assigned him are ever going to get done." "Wait, we have movement! Yes, yes, it's a confirmed refrigerator run!"
Still not as good as those "miracle" CCTV images we get from TV shows. Apply a filter to a blurred photo taken in someone's pocket and it turns out to be a publicity shot for the latest NCIS guest star...
Expected and known about this kind of stuff for years. Take precautions. This is an excellent reason for a dumb phone so that you can remove battery and SIM card and not be tracked. As for the NSA puke reading this, "I know you are out there, I know you are listening. I'm going to hang up this phone and show these people what you don't want them to see, a world, without you." Free your mind folks.
You should never give this another thought. They can easily figure out your philosophical point of view without reading any of this, so say what you darn well please (within the rules of the forum, of course, because here, we don't have any 1A rights, nor do I suggest we should) without regard to whomever may be listening. When/if the time comes for any of us to have to self-censor for fear of our government, what we say here will be the least of our worries. And just a reminder, you were all born free men and women... act accordingly.
Oh, I don't fear it, I'm just saying. I'm, uh, pretty vocal about my opinions (while trying to maintain some level of politeness), I refuse to hide who and what I am, and what I believe in.
Just so everyone knows I own absolutely no firearms and even if I did I would gladly hand them over if laws caused me to. hey government guy reading this there is no winky face there showing sarcasm I'm 100% serious.
I was just using what you said as a starting point. In no way was I trying to impugn your... well, your anything. Still pals, right? LOL.
