Everyone who runs on the LP ticket for President is opportunistic. You run on the ticket to get your name out there so you can sell books, give speeches or whatever you are doing to earn money in the political world. If someone running on the LP ticket isn't opportunistic then they are completely and utterly delusional.
And on that day, the government programs and disbursement of grant money will have paid the way for a drone, unimaginably small, that will be able to evade the counter technology. That's how it always is. They are leaps and bounds ahead of the public.
I understand the argument. I could perhaps concede the point if the government's usage of drones was prohibited. Even then, though, it is not a world I'd like to live in. I am no technophobe, but there are quite clearly issues with the society we are creating. It will be a world of drones, before long. That is, people will act as if they are under surveillance. True expression will be stymied.. actions chilled. I feel bad for the children mainly. I remember when this nonsense wasn't so flagrant.
