'Big Brother' is watching - really really really watching!
 This video was made by the American Civil Liberties Union. They created it in response to the proposal for a national ID card. It’s a light-hearted treatment of a serious issue. http://videos.komando.com/2008/06/30/future-pizza-order/ Source: Kim Komando |

Hey, if the source is "Kim Kommando", shouldn't it be "Big Sister" is watching?
Otherwise, "they" are always watching "us" - it's what "they" do. -------------------- I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!  |

Nope, no "Big Sister" watching - she was just passing on the video created by others.

I see what you mean about your personal statement. How true it is of so many. I think what amazes me is the number of people who either refuse to believe that something all too similar to the video is possible and can't see that signs of this happening right in front of their noses. I don't much like the idea of a National ID card but then we've all been numbered, and now pretty much at birth. No one is without a Social Security number now. Who would ever think that something so innocent looking could possibly be used against us in the future but then didn't Hitler have the Jews tattooed with a number? Not possible here? Bull !! There are always those who will blindly follow what is being handed down to them as the right way of doing things without ever realizing what they are giving up along the way until it's too late. What happens to the ones who do realize that our rights are being taken a little at a time and don't agree with the system. Will we then be turned in to the powers that be so that we might have attitude adjustments made? It does make you wonder what we're headed for in the future and there are times it scares the H. out of me.
Do you think it's okay for me to scratch that itch now without being watched by a monitor??? ( actually a half hearted smile, because it could happen) -------------------- Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.~~

I saw that scratching. I'll never tell the part of the body you were itching.
