What I wrote is very,
very abhorrent, in the extreme.
I wish to be disproven; by nature, I am an optimist. I always have been.
I don't see a way around it.
I am keenly aware that
NO great nor mighty organization has ever followed me around nor spied on me.
Therefore, "paranoid" does not fit, because my concerns r
not ego-centric.
Those concerns have
NOTHING to do with me.
I fully expect that we will all live out our respective lives in freedom
(referring to those of us who live in free countries).
I predict that I will have
NO genetic relationship to the victims of the despotism.
I see the future as follows:
The USSC will probably expand the principles of the
HELLER case,
such that the remnants of gun control will fall, following nazism n communism into the cesspool of history.
This will give
re-birth to a new spirit of personal freedom n Individualism thru out America.
With luck, that will last for a few decades.
Everyone in this forum shud die of natural causes within this time, in the ordinary course of events.
The future has a flank attack in store for American progeny and worldwide,
from the benefits of technology -- that of
surveillance.
( Has any technique of surveillance ever been invented that a government has
NOT employed????)
I predict that fotografic cameras will proliferate to ubiquity.
Men will fall in the streets from heart attacks and be
gloriously rescued
by ambulances dispatched by police monitors of those cameras.
This will evoke great joy and celebrations!
LOUD will be the calls
for more of the beloved cameras (both terrestrial and in orbit
overhead).
With time, facial recognition software will improve.
Parents whose children have been lost will be moven to install
subcutaneous low-jacks at birth into children, as we do now with dogs.
The technology of the low-jacks will evolve n improve, sending medically
diagnostic data to supercomputers. Any person calling in sick to work
will have his data examined to see if he
REALLY has a cold.
Smoking will be banned as thay declaim: "its for your own good" (as if
THAT created jurisdiction).
Next, alcohol and sweets will be banned, for the good of the collective, crying again:
"its for your own good" (as if
THAT created jurisdiction).
Next,
red meat is out, or controlled; maybe u'll need a license to eat it.
In 2012, I cannot foresee any development into actual mindreading; impossible,
but no orgasm will remain uncounted, unregistered and unjudged by
the extant standards of "decency" however that is defined by the bosses' subjective tastes.
Perhaps thay will be
LICENSED (like the right to defend your life),
and parents will insist that no license be granted to people
below a certain age, in the interests of decency.
There will
never be an end to the
improvments n enhancements
of the intrusion of
surveillance technology. The victims will welcome it
with open arms because of the trade-offs.
To this despotism, neither Ike nor Patton nor MacArthur will come riding to the rescue.
One World government will unite the ubiquity of the watching processes.
Man will be re-defined as a colony creature.
Each man will be a cell in the whole creature.
"Rubbish" is a good word for it, Izzy. I earnestly hope that u will be right,
tho I can't imagine
HOW u can be. Good luck with that.
) grrrrr
