saw my first drone the other day

hell chicago needs 17 drones at least.

If the USA employs 10,000 drones now....we can use them for a year, then export them to the rest of the world, and make newer better ones. Isnt that all against the wishes of EVERYONE! Its like anyone who has a big debt or big bills, will do anything to pay them or catch up! A hungry govt. needs more money to pay its bills. Obama is expanding, printing, spending and taxing! We need to reverse the course that we are on!

This is one area that should have everyones support!

what did obama want as far as drones go, something like 10,000 drones for the u.s.? one drone per 133 square miles, yes/no? basically every county or two will have a drone flying above it. nice,,,real frickin nice

He prefers the predators so he can quietly bomb the fuck out of innocent people in nations around the world.

Im pretty sure Romney would not have done this like Obama does. For one, Obama is seeking to invade privacy like I have never seen before! Also, raise revenues for his montrous govt.

I see very little difference in the two. Actually, I think Romney would have continued and expanded the drone program. It's the future of warfare

Mitt Romney does not give one iota about our privacy. He's big government in a different suit

Yep. Big brother is watching us... They busted some cattle thieves and waited to catch them at a moment when no one got hurt. Terrible. We really should start shooting these people out of the sky. For if you can no longer steal cattle and have a good gun fight, the world and the whole democracy is obviously ending in a handbasket.

Please give me a break.

Right, because there is no other way to catch a cattle thief. It's called privacy, something that has constantly gotten torn to bits since 9/11.

They were cattle thieves. I rather have them caught than steal more cattle. Sometimes when I read these posts I feel like I am back in the Wild Wild West. Teachers with guns, fireman with guns, people taking the law into their own hands - I am waiting for the first shoot down at noon - spaghetti western style.

That said, I also believe our privacy should be safeguarded. But I think that the privacy of non-US citizens are much more in danger (Guantamano anyone?) than US citizens. In a democracy we have, thank God, many watch dogs to lobby and bring these issues to light. Lets please stay calm instead of paranoid. (And before we start shooting drones out of the sky that may end up being commercial flights.) It is not 1984. There is still a democracy. The US government is not out to get you. There will be no New World Order dictatorship tomorrow. Democracy lives and stands by checks and balances and the division of power. That still exists. Besides, the internet is much more dangerous than any drone flight. Your weblog and history, even the comments you write here, are much more accessable - even to non-governments - for profiling than any drone flight ever will be. If the US government wants to know you and investigate you, no sophisticated drone flights are needed.

Let everybody just calm down.

I feel like some of you are ready to take their scuds out of their garage and start shooting at evrything that moves.Too much hollywood anyone?

This is an interesting Op. Keep it up guys!
Ps. to the one who thinks I'm paranoid. Please read more history. As to my personal sentiments; they run with Chadwick. I'm not paranoid (I also don't want much TV) and I know big bro can monitor us with or without Drones. I simply think we must awaken from our naive slumber; basking in me-me paradise while expecting our oh-so powerful ruling entities to do what's best for us and take care of us. We really need to extent the next generations the same chance we've had at this freer-than-ever experience before we check out. That, my fellow rider, is being concerned -- not being paranoid.

When I wrote my cynical, hypothetical scenario about Drones controlling violent mobs with pepper-spray, I was just coming from the Op about how pepper spray was used on that violent mob at The Occupy scene. A scene that recently, actually happened but is now -- just one more historical fact.
Simply, my scenario merely stretched beyond "when good men do nothing". So when name-calling by one mass of another mass attempting to hold onto a bit o' freedom for all, well, I liken this reflex as something inevitable when blinders are kept on too snugly, cutting off circulation.

Obviously, to catch cattle thieves... :roll:

And yes, I do think that some of you act and sound (not necessarily are; for I don't know you) paranoid. Shoot me. (All pun intended.)

anyone spotted a drone lately? does every 133 square miles have a drone yet?

I haven't

If I do though, I'll be sure to give it the finger and possibly moon it...
