NOW THAT'S NOT FUNNY

Cell Phones = Traffic Tracking Device:

Companies track gridlock via cell phones
Data from wireless providers mark how fast handsets are moving on roads

Paranoid? Me? Absolutely...

We can't keep our identities from being stolen because the Identity Thieves are not stealing them from US... their stealing our identities from the Big Profitteering Corporations that keep and track our personal information...

Throw away cell phones won't keep these companies from selling big brother a way to track your whereabouts...

I'm not really worried for my own personal sake... it's just the idea of it scares me.

I heard a women the other day on one of those Infortainment programs being packaged as the News talking about how many of Civil Liberties were worth giving up so police would have the power and authority to do what they needed to do to track and catch criminals... Yeah, she was an idiot, but she's not the only idiot out there, and there seems to be a lot of idiots just out there these days.

We're all going to end up being tracked just like those people who are currently being forced to wear those electronic ankle bracelets... We really need to stop and think about this...

But more than anything I love the millions of wasted tax dollars being spent to install cameras to watch the public on so many highways, street cornors, and who know where else... that's us their watching folks and our local governments are spending our tax monies to do it... but according to the above article... all that money that has been spent has paid for very soon to be obsolete goods... yep... we'll pay our cell phone bill every month... and local governments will use them to track traffic flow... that's what they say now... hmmmmmmmmmmm how long do you think it will be till some big shot mucky muck will present a case for tracking someone for no other reason than "they" think it's necessary... we're all fast becomming persons of interest... hmmmmmmm
