I am aware at this point that all attempts to try and right the proverbial ship are futile within our government. However, when this one inevitably implodes we will always be in need of good ideas throughout society for the next attempt whenever that may be. As the author says the surveillance state will not be disappearing while technology exist so why not turn it against itself? Politicians and all government officials, in any capacity, need be fitted with pin cameras on the lapel all day everyday with a constant stream to public domains. If you want to record every aspect of our lives then we want constant access to yours while were paying you at the very least. If they want to have shady dealings with banks and companies (aka fascism) it will be publicised or you can do it on your own personal time during the night...with the neighborhood camera thats already in place showing who is coming and going during the night.
