Damn... sorry this is so late for a response..... but I agree 100% with what you said... but it also makes think of "Animal Farm", by the same author...
I have no problem with 'loss of privacy', meaning cameras everywhere (even if it is similar to George Orwell's "1984")... If you are not guilty of anything... then what have you got to hide? But, then again, I'm not saying more government. I think everyone here understands what FREEDOM means.... and the cost of it.
Not a problem. One of these days I should scroll back through all of the stuff in "My Comments" & pick up "conversations" that scrolled without responses from me. LOL I know there are a ton of them. :(

My take on the cameras has to do with dealing with information overload. Unless I start seeing a huge increase in the number of people hired to actually *do* something with all of the information accumulated, I'm perfectly safe hiding out here in plain sight. "Big Brother" was interactive, not just an observer. "Subject Holly GoLightly observed picking her nose at 3:48, Jan 5, 2007." "Sent reminder to carry Kleenex, Jan 5, 2007."
Face it, most of us aren't all that interesting, much as we'd like to think otherwise. So, it's not even a matter of whether or not we're guilty of anything. There are too few government agents to pay attention anyway, unless we give them a good reason to pay attention.

I agree, though I'd say most do, not all.
