"Young men are affected slightly more than young women. People experiencing severe anxiety or depression can develop problems with paranoid feelings, but the most extreme forms of paranoia are usually seen in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder. These illnesses can cause people to lose touch with reality, a disorder known as phychosis."

Hey Rogers, ideology is a brain disease...

Libertarianism IS an IDIOTology.

Oh, I forgot. Doctor (say that reverentially) Ron Paul is God. All others are false prophets. Libertarianism is not an ideology, it's the true neo-Nietschean religion. Praise be to the everlasting mediocrity of Ayn Rand and Ron Paul.

There's nothing "unconstitutional" going on. The census is constitutionally required. Double checking the mapping of the US at the same time is a savings to the nation. It's not like the existence of your house & all the plans for it aren't already public record.

This helps in issues of apportionment, and drawing legislative districts. It's akin to local governments that map out every tax lot. While there are plenty of things to worry about in relation to government action this is really not one of them.

Also, most of the arguments in that article are counter-productive when it comes to trying to foster a general consensus about proper limits on government. Illustrating it as a likely tool to help with a U.N. sponsored occupation is like saying it may be useful in aiding a Martian invasion.

Personally I'm far more concerned with programs that monitor conversations, or technologies that penetrate the walls of a house in order to monitor activity inside. Knowing that the government is aware that my property is within a specific set of spacial coordinates is nothing of concern for me.

When they come for the troublemakers in the middle of the night they want to make sure they go to the right locations. That's all.

[trish]

That's right. But remember, wearing a tinfoil hat will blind the satellite cameras with reflections from the Sun and corrupt their GPS data.

[thx1138]

At 3 or 4 in the morning there are no sun reflections on the east coast of North America. It's homing device. The pick up squad just follows the beacon till they arrive at my (or your) door with the arrest warrant. Simple. No tin foil hat involved. I'm praying for a major sun cycle to start soon to throw massive amounts of electricly charged particles at the earth taking out those orbiting suckers overhead. :>)

Let's hope that they bring along restraints and plenty of anti-psychotic meds for your loony ass, thxtinfoil...likewise for El Nutjob...back to the acorn academy, lads...

Holy GPS Batman, the location of my house and property is already on file at the clerks office on the town square. The files are open to public inspection. They're online in a growing number of communities. Thank God they're only as accurate as the trained surveyors were who mapped out the neighborhood's property lines with primitive transits and lasers. If they were "GPS-accurate" the Feds would be here right.....wait a minute...someones knocking....

clearly walking around collecting gps data of doors (my advice take your door and throw it into the next best river) is a lot simpler than opening a phone book and typing your address into the satnav

With continued high unemployment, foreclosures, homelessness, spiraling food and gas prices there's going to be a lot of discontented people looking for redress now that their American dream has been shattered. Already there has been plenty of rioting in other countries. As for troublemakers being rounded up in the middle of the night google "the night of the long knives". Think it can't happen here? Think again. Look at who's on the DHS list of potential terrorists. (practically everyone). That implies a "bunker mentality" that could to lead to a horrible tragedy. Another bad sign is military people teaming up with local LE. When has this happened before?

[thx1138]

So glad they let you out on parole. Important message from the terminator girl:

[trish]

Yeah, those tea parties were frightening.

[lorddigitalhighfixer]

if you have a GSM phone, somebody motivated could track you with it easily. as for GPS outside homes, you'll probably already find your house on Google street maps anyways.


Libertarianism IS an IDIOTology.

to see Ron Paul get totally clowned, watch Sacha Baron Cohen's new movie Bruno.

Oh please, like Ron Paul is really a libertarian. :roll:

I wonder what kind of lobbying was involved to get this government contract.

[hippifried]

I can't be absolutely sure, but I don't think the census is contracted out.
