Obama, Drones, and Privacy

The Maximum Leader of the US government calls for regulating drones to protect people’s privacy. So the government will put regulations in place to prevent a drone with a camera hovering outside my window invading my privacy to the same extent as a peeping Tom with a ladder. Then I compare that to the privacy invasions of the US Government’s various agencies that:

• Register every birth with a tax number
• Track physical address with a driver’s license
• Open and read much of our physical mail
• Open and read all our email
• Track every website we visit
• Track every credit card transaction we make
• Track the movement of money in and out of every account
• Listen in on all our phone calls
• Read all our texts
• Monitor our social media posts
• Track our movements via our mobile phones and license plates
• Use radar technology to peep into our houses
• Strip us down and pat us down at the airport or train station
• Assassinate anyone, anywhere on the planet for any reason or none USING A DRONE

Note to White House: Protect my privacy by dismantling this virtual panopticon before putting regulations in place for a non-issue.
