L. Neil Smith at The Libertarian Enterprise - Neil rips Joe Lieberman a new asshole over his proposal to follow England's horrific lead in putting surveillance cameras everywhere. [neil]

First, there is no evidence whatever that putting up a bunch of cameras and getting otherwise unemployable drones to watch everybody's slightest move has anything to do with arresting real miscreants, or, more importantly, preventing criminals from injuring people or their property.

Second, in a world where the worst terrorists are (and always have been) governments themselves, how can we know that anyone who is arrested had anything to do with the violent acts that have everyone upset? (Hint: we can't.) I don't know about Britain, but here, our valiant FBI is best known for slaughtering 80-odd innocent individuals--including two dozen helpless, harmless little children--in their church, a brutal, arrogant crime they haven't been made to pay for yet.

...

To the extent that there is anything real out there at all--and to an increasing number of Americans (especially those who recognize a building being imploded from the inside when they see one), it appears more and more every day that "global terrorism" is a hoax--the best way to deal with it is to insure that the unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right of every man, woman, and responsible child to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon--rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything--any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission is energetically enforced.
