surveillance, its proponents and its opponents

[dan@geer.org]

Sociologically speaking, is it not interesting that Pres. Obama's
freshest proposal for race relations is to deploy yet more surveillance
cameras?  Body cameras for all police, an announcement made while
arch-racist Sharpton was in the White House, is, of course, wholly
consistent with Obama's basic intuitions whether we are talking
drones in Asia or the data sharing requirements under Obamacare.

The immigrant amnesty groups certainly got under Obama's skin by
calling him the "deporter in chief;" is it not time to call him
the "voyeur in chief?"
