  1. Dear SkyNet supporters – If you want to live in a total surveillance state, please move to China as soon as possible.

    • China is here. Rex invited them in. Spying on our national defense workers right now. I wonder if they will build a statue to him somewhere in Communist China.

  2. Go and find your self a cave, If you dont want big brother to know about you. I hope they even install voice activation as well to get all those dirt bag out for good. You want technology and then you get picky.

    • Let me guess; you’re a 100% flag waving, freedom loving American, while espousing your support of big brother surveillance technology invading every inch of our lives?

  4. Everyone come to the town hall meeting and let them know how you feel about being watched when you walk or drive down the street. Hell those things can even tap into your cell phone without your knowledge.
