No, I don't. Too much caffiene and being insulted made me pretty hyper.

But that's my point . . . what could be construed as a minor or
annoying sacrifice of freedom, could be a lifesaver for others. For one
thing, our gov isn't proposing putting VCs on every corner - only the
corners with rampant, violent crime. And it HAS worked on street
corners all over the US. Crime down in areas as much as 76%. For a
woman who gets to see her baby/teenager one more day, that's a BIG deal
and she's grateful for the camera.

My problem was that you didn't see the people it could HELP. You just
saw you and felt sorry for you. In MHO, that's not reaponsible anything
- and to me, THAT'S pretty frigging dark science fiction of you. Or
maybe top-rung Communism (AKA fuck the little poor guy).
