    "The issue of police cameras in bedrooms comes up again and again, but I always have to wonder - what criminal acts are these guys planning that they protest so loudly to having cameras placed in their bedrooms?"

    Think of the Iran-Contra affair.

    The US government pressured many US publications not to make this scandal public. They pressured journalists who kept pushing the truth. Journalists were forced from their jobs because they tried to tell the public the truth.

    Think how much easier it would have been for the US government to keep the Iran-Contra scandal hidden forever if they could keep a permanent watch on the journalists who were protecting your right to know the truth.

    Don't give any government the ability to hide the truth from you. Journalists are fighting every day to tell you the truth. Don't make it easier for the US government to silence them.

    I completely agree with this. Look at the number of people who have inadequate eyesight. All these people going about their business, and they have to correct their vision with eye glasses or contact lenses. We should sterilise the lot of them, otherwise we're polluting the gene pool with bad eyesight.
    And now that we know fatness has a genetic link, fat people shouldn't be allowed to breed, either.

    Well, there goes most of the population of the US, and a good chunk of the UK while we're at it.
