Drone Hunters Lining Up and Paying Out In Colorado
coondoggie writes "What might have started out a whimsical protest against government surveillance tactics has morphed into more as a small town in Colorado has found itself overwhelmed with requests and cash for a unmanned aircraft hunting license that doesn't exist."
Yeah, not a real license. I don't care, I still want one.

In Soviet Russia, drones shoot you!
[Uh, wait ... maybe not just in Soviet Russia ...]
If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would be late.
I think this may fit the definition of irony, that people, who just may eventually be hunted by drones, are trying to get licenses to hunt the drones, while the drones that hunt them, do not need any license, because the people have already given the government enough power to ensure both: that they eventually can be hunted by drones (and no license required) and that they can't actually get a license to protect themselves.
On the second thought, this is not irony, it's just oppression.
You can't handle the truth.
Are you listening?
What a silly question! Of course they listen! Why, we have a whole intelligence agency with no legitimate purpose other than to listen in on...
Oh, you didn't mean "illegally spy on", you meant "take your bosses seriously". Sorry, simple mistake.
So you are saying that drones are a cheap, easy, and incredibly effective way to oppressive your citizens, and you are wondering why everyone is worried?
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.

They're also a cheap, safer way to obtain scientific data in remote areas of the country (like Deer Ass, Colorado). Despite the paranoia, not all UAV use is for shooting you while you sleep.
