Cambridge, Mass. Moves To Nix Security Cameras
An anonymous reader writes "Citing privacy concerns, the Cambridge, Mass. City Council has voted 9-0 to remove security cameras scattered throughout the city. 'Because of the slow erosion of our civil liberties since 9/11, it is important to raise questions regarding these cameras,' said Marjorie Decker, a Cambridge city councilor. Rather than citing privacy, WCBVTV is running the story under the headline 'City's Move To Nix Security Cams May Cost Thousands.'"
If you don't get your lexus, at worst you don't have a car.
And possiblly not have a job, since we don't have reliable public transportation everyone, or affordable housing new places of employment.
Your neighbor doesn't get the health care she needs, she dies.
Oh well. People die all the time. Given the obesity rate, she's probably obese, and clearly doesn't care if she lives. That's what's lacking in all this nonsense about national health care. There's no requirement for people to step up and take responsiblity for their own bad choices... but yet I get stuck with the bill when some fatass gets diabetes.
So please, spare me the "so and so will DIE without healthcare." So and so needs take responsiblity for her own life and wellbeing, and stop whining that everyone else should do it for her.
I wish people would stop making analogies on slashdot, as they're invariably awful.
Well, here I agree with you.
