Bringing back America

Let's be honest with ourselves: no one can deny that America has begun a seemingly never-ending fall down a slippery slope. Each year our debt grows by leaps and bounds and the population of the country on welfare just keeps growing. Meanwhile, the taxpayers are getting taxed more and more.

Where will this fall end? Or will it even end?

It's time for the next generation to stay taking control of this country. We have to change something in America, or there will be no America left to live in.

The land of the free has gotten rather expensive. What will you do about it?

The time has come: Comic Con 2014

Time to click as quickly as possible and then watch the queue of thousands of people trickle down until you are next in line. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to preorder your Comic Con tickets.

Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Comic Con 2014 tickets will go on sale. Don't miss this once in a lifetime chance to join the exclusive club that is Comic Con. Have your member ID ready and be prepared to log on the second the clock strikes nine.

Nowhere to Hide

Some of you may have seen a video by PBS that aired about 2 years ago regarding a super camera called the ARGUS-IS.

For those of you who don't know, this is a
1.8 gigapixel camera that takes pictures from a drone at 17,000 feet with such high  resolution that it can zoom in and see what your individual is wearing on the streets below.

The camera isn't exactly common knowledge. In fact, it was only 2 years ago that the government released any information regarding the camera at all. What is used for? Well apparently, the government isn't at liberty to say.

What we do know is that the camera is intended for use as a surveillance device. Where do they plan on using this? Well, we aren't sure. All we know is what the government has shown us through this short video. If you're interested in learning more about the camera, I'm posting a link to a web page that has a lot of information on it. 

One thing we know for sure if the camera is intended for use 24 /7 over the areas where the government would like to place it. We don't know where this is, but we can assume that some of the areas are in this country.

How do you feel about being watched 24 /7 with what is possibly an infrared camera?

One thing is certain, we have a few questions need to be answered. For instance, what does the government plan to do with such a camera? Where do they plan to station it? Will the public be notified if they are being monitored 24 /7? Is it ethical to monitor the public 24/7? Are we entitled to privacy in our homes or businesses?

There's a lot that needs to be answered, but the government is not offering up any more information at this time. Feel free to look up what you can find in post it in the comments below. I'll be very interested to see what everyone else can find in terms of information on this camera.
