These things are all very bothersome, yet we 20 years ago the thought of having cameras in stores, in the intersections, hidden at work, or hidden just about any where would have been cause for nation wide public alarm. Big Brother is wathcing now, and we accept it because we, the inocent, have nothing to fear if we are doing nothing wrong. I recall reading that it is the inocent that often made to pay and are the most exploited.

And they will watch and track all our vehicles so that we will be caught every single time we go over the speed limit.

It has been written about in many books, and they all paint a very depressing picture for the future of this country and indeed the planet over the next 200 years. But your right Narf, interal vigilance is our only salvation. As long as we have hope we have something.

Keep in mind that the US alone could currently feed the entire population of the world continuously several times over, with only a portion of the arable land in the nation. This is not done, of course, because there is no profit in feeding people that have no money.

Now, grow food in other places in the world, and it would be possible to feed trillions of people. Modern farming techniques can grow huge amounts of food on small plots of land.

that false!
uv is a source of skin cancer and thats a longer wavelength than xray!

uv still way shrter than radio, but its not xray or smaller. you cant be so sure of the dividing line. a simple study may be a good thing. [/QB]

What Will said.
