I'm gonna say one thing. If someone raped your sister wouldn't you want ot know who it was? It just happens a camera caught the rapist...I am pretty sure you'd want to find out who did it..(shall I continue?)
OH no another thread about big brother watching us...who give a ****, let him watch...i'm pretty sure they like my taste in pr0n.

Any checkwriting must be accompanied by a Government photo ID,
No **** genious...so the person who's receiving the check knows that it is actually YOUR check and not a stolen one...

She'd also like me to mention 'security cameras' that are everywhere, but we shan't delve further since it'd take all day
I'm very sorry the cameras are everywhere...too bad you cant masturbate in an ATM room anymore...sheesh!
As for the TVs and Radios...they need to be monitored...or else how would you figure out the ratings? Does it really bother you that someone knows what movie you're watching? Seriously...is this some kind of joke ?

OK LETS GO BACK TO YOUR FIRST POST:

You must pay a 'bribe' to the government to purchase anything whatsoever, moreso on those things that are considered by the government as 'luxury items' or 'sinful' (sales tax).
Yes....unless you want your income tax higher to pay for schools, military, and anything else that needs to be paid for.

Your phone is tapped (yes, it is. try saying Bomb, President, and Nuclear in the same sentence in a conversation and note how fast you get checked out).
God I hope so....I wouldn't want someone Nuking the president and the whitehouse...or anything in the country I live in.

You must pay a bribe to the government to 'continue owning property' (don't pay your taxes for a couple years and see how well you really do own it).
Yah...why not? Read back the example with schools, military etc.

Everything you buy is recorded, What you watch on the idiot box (teevee might be the less offensive term) is also recorded, movies you watch, videos you rent, even the radio stations you listen to in your car. Face it folks, we're quite well observed.
Everything I buy is recorded? umm...no. The Food that I buy is not recorded...unless I pay with a CC which will be on the receipt. TV stations need Ratings...thats how they work....OH NO SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT I"M LISTENING TO ON THE RADIO! QUICK HIDE!
Quite frankly more people than my government know what music I listen to, they can hear it from the windows cuz its pretty loud most of the time.

Now I read (albeit a month old) a post on how google is watching us. Another (newer one) tells me how Bill Gates wants to know what colour underwear I'm wearing at any given moment. Is it small wonder that living in today's society an 'unmediated' 'unregulated' realm such as the internet would not be VERY tightly observed?
Well sure why not? You wouldn't want to know if someone was searching google for "HOW TO NUKE THE PRESIDENT?" or "Kiddy porn"?
If you don't like google cuz its being monitored...yahoo, MSN, excite, altavista are always there in addition to hundreds of other search engines.

Ok, spyware, adware, trojans of all kinds. Who really cares that fred's marketing company knows I'd prefer to walk through Central Park wearing only lime jello and reading this month's penthouse magazine? Long as I'm not doing it in front of anyone else, am I really doing wrong? Shoot, maybe they'll even cut me a coupon for bulk discount on the jello...
Ad-ware, spybot S&D, spywareblaster....etc?

Our Government you say? Freedom? Protection? ok. I refer you to the first two paragraphs of this dissertation. Oh, Cap tips to you vets out there and no offense intended - I'm one too. I'll show ya the bronze star I won killing Iraqis over oil if you'd like to see it. In the meantime, I'll continue surfing, and helping fix probs here if y'all don't neg me to death over this...
I doubt you are a vet...you'd be a bit smarter than this. First gulf war or second? The first one was to liberate Kuwait....so wtf are you bitching about? I'm sorry but I don't see my life being affected in any way...I still Enjoy the same liberties I did since I came to the United States and my life is quite enjoyable. I really don't see wtf you're bitching and whinning about.
