George Orwell Was Right — Security Cameras Get an Upgrade
Jamie stopped to mention that Bloomberg is reporting on a recent addition of speakers to public security cameras in Middlesbrough, England. From the article: "`People are shocked when they hear the cameras talk, but when they see everyone else looking at them, they feel a twinge of conscience and comply,' said Mike Clark, a spokesman for Middlesbrough Council who recounted the incident. The city has placed speakers in its cameras, allowing operators to chastise miscreants who drop coffee cups, ride bicycles too fast or fight outside bars."
Same thing is happening in America. The US gov't knows the disaster that looms on the horizon (crashing dollar, massive inflation, country-wide civil unrest) and thats why its getting in as many of its draconian police-state laws now as it can, before The Crash.
America: China owns you. The time for you to do something about it is long since past. Bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your fat ass lifestyles goodbye..

No, that's just your own body-odour.
I know that insulting Americans is the "cool" thing to do these days, but give it a rest. Democracy got it's start in the US, and US intervention helped keep you from living in a fascist state. You don't have to like them, but you don't have to be such a pathetic, hateful little bastard either.
