Let's start with the Department of Homeland Security.
On orders from the federal government, Philadelphia is replacing all its
electromechanical signal boxes with a digital system that will eventually host
the guts for a citywide network of surveillance cameras.
Dear ranter,
This is very important. The last time our government bombed Philadelphia, they
took out an entire block. With this technology, anti-war activists,
librarians, public school teachers, and West Philadelphians infesting Baltimore
Ave can be taken out with surgical smart bombs.
The day after the military industrial complex makes us cleaner and safer, award
winning real estate agents can be selling houses next door and showing off
upscale street lights.
My gosh, we need to close all the socialist libraries and socialist public
schools, so we can get these boxes all over the district now! Aren't you
terrified of those socialist terrorists surrounding us? Why do you hate good
people and their terror?
Fighting for freedom, democracy,and the military complex,
A good neighbor

You have to go to the link to see the size of these things. The
hard copy of the paper shows a picture from inside a cafe where the
new box (up against the building!) completely blocks the view. I
mean, WTF? We can make cameras the size of cigarette lighters, so
why do they have to be like this? This could be last straw for my
moving to Europe or someplace else that gives a damn about their
street life.
Love,
The Ranter
