Thanks for your contribution. I share your dim view of Stalinists. However, this paragraph is devoid of useful information, and as best I can tell, has no relationship to the topic being discussed. What point were you trying to make?

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize the thread police wouldn't allow me to pipe in with an opinion about increased surveillance and overhead cameras.
I believe the show where I saw this was on MSNBC, yesterday. I can't find a link about it right now, but it was about a gang of people who attacked one or more women in plain sight of the police.
My point is that the government will use any excuse to increase surveillance cameras - and they are getting us used to that increased surveillance with the red light cameras at every intersection.
