Okay, you want an example of an abuse of surveillance technology and big govt forcing/requiring people to do something, THIS is the example that I turn to the 'state' and say "FORK YOU!" (U know what I mean).
What about the tired old mantra the left trots out for abortion: "This is something to be kept private and confidential between a person and their doctor"?
This may be 'soft' compulsion or whatever the hell the new spin term is, but you just KNOW the long-term plan is to force changes in peoples' lives. In the not-to-distant future, just think of all the pissed off diabetic liberals going into Starbucks when they swipe their card to pay for their double mocha latte's the clerk gets a message saying the NY DOH says I can't sell you that, it's bad for you blood sugar.
This kind of stuff is the true concern of people who are against a big brother society. This example hits everyone in a society group, it's not voluntary (records are sent whether you 'opt-out' of receiving info or not), and you can't do anything to stop your records from being sent.
Who the fork does the NY DOH think it is? It's time to put some biblical fear into these 'public servants' - HEY MORONS - YOU WORK FOR US, WE DON'T ANSWER TO FRIGGIN' YOU!!!
That's the other thing about these libs - they think they're so much better than the common man. Common guy needs to be told what to do - what to eat, what to drink, when to sleep, etc. These friggin libs have little God complexes and want to play the role. "I made a difference today! I prevented 76,432 diabetics from having a donut!
Friggin' hypocritical nany-state big brother faceless bureaucrat paper-pushing condescending know-it-all liberals!!!!!
I like your attitude! :-)
