Now It Is Nineteen Eighty-Four...

I woke up the other day, turned on my computer and saw the horror of this news article on the front page of Yahoo called "'What?' Confused 911 caller outs NYPD spying in NJ" (The link to the article is at the bottom of this post.) You may say that I'm misunderstanding this or blowing this out of proportion, but reading it and seeing the video brought me to tears. To think that our own Police force is spying on us, watching our every move, tracking our every location... it's maddening! I know that they were keeping track on Islamic "terrorists", but it'll soon become a lame excuse to keep track of everyone! They will search a room in an apartment, then the apartment itself, then the next building, then the street, then the whole city block! You might say that they need a reason to do this, but they will! Just give them enough time and they'll find a reason! Be a good one or bad one, they will find a reason!

The fact that Michael Bloomberg (Mayor of New York) and Jeffrey Chiesa (New Jersey Attorney General) defend these actions is insulting. To my understanding, this gives Cops the right to practically go to any house in any city or state to spy on anyone, so long as they are "searching for terrorists." The only reason these "superiors" are defending their police is to keep their upper-class, high profile political images from suffering an ego bruising! They don't want to look foolish to their people! They'll use, think of and take any excuse to save their hide!

I just don't get it. What did we do to deserve all this unnecessary surveillance? I know that it's for "the safety of the people", but in my opinion, this is starting to go too far. And soon, it'll get out of hand. It won't be "safety of the people" for long, it'll be "the CONTROL of the people"!

Where did we go wrong?

Vote for TEAM JUSTICE!

***VOTING HAS ENDED***

Hey Guys.

I just wanted to take the time out of my currently busy schedule to ask you all to do me a simple favor. As some of you may notice already, there's an odd "widget" beneath my Blogspot's large picture.

Now, you might not take it seriously, but please. Look into it. Vote for them. These are people who are helping their community in ways no other person could! They put on gimmicks, they use their own money to help the poor, gain attention for certain city petitions and laws to be passed, run and fund special charity events to raise awareness on a variety of issues including Birth Defects, Crime Prevention, City Laws, Homeless Outreach, Global & Economical Problems. They even drive Drug Dealers and Gangs out of their cities while some of them have saved others from Rape, Muggings and Murders.

They don't have Superpowers, but they still make a huge diffrence in their communities. Heck, they make bigger diffrences than the average person who just merely donates to a charity or gives a french fry or two to a random homeless guy!

Please vote for them. You can only vote once a day. And if they are within a certain rank by the end of the month, they will win $50,000 or more for use in helping out their community.

Thank You for understanding
