"Spying on our Children – Yes"

"Surveillance seems to be the 21st-century way of life .

Our government tells us it must know our every action, conversation, association, and thought to keep us safe from the latest bogyman .

Schools have been caught monitoring students through laptop computers, that take pictures of them at home, without their knowledge or consent, and document every web site they visit and keystroke they make .

And parents track their children’s lives with cell phones, GPS device, computer surveillance, and good old fashioned spying . "

i wonder when the government will move to electronically smacking our misbehaving kids because we still can't do that either.

I used to keep my Capstan 10s in a suitably hollowed out old reference book on my bookshelf.

Found out years later Mum would raid my supply when she was caught short, and replace them later ...

Found out years later Mum would raid my supply when she was caught short, and replace them later ... you couldn't even trust your parents!

** Capstan was a brand of cigarette in a pack of 10. Pretty rough as I recall, but that may have been my (then) delicate throat membranes objecting.

And the government doesn't know your every action unless you get their attention somehow. In order for them to know everything everyone does they would need as many employees as there are people in the country following you around 24/7. Yes they record a lot of info and use software to scan it for red flags and I understand if that bothers you and you distrust the government to have that information but that's hardly knowing everything about you. Most data collected will never be seen and it will always be that way, nobody cares what you get up to most of the time unless you make it otherwise.
