According to examiner.com and the Bandera County Courier, the United States Census Bureau is planning to enter up to 140 million addresses into a giant, government-run GPS database.
Can I just ask a simple question: why? I mean, is not the factual location of our homes enough, or do they really need to see where we live? I suppose spying on regular citizens is something the administration would love to do, considering they want to control how the Census is taken, and take power away from the Census Bureau.
Imagine the power the Administration could wield. They can see where you live, they know who you are, and if Obama's proposal for "Preventative Detention" goes through, they can jail you with the flick of their wrist. They can sway votes and elections, they can jail their enemies. What next, I ask you, what next?
And don't even get me started with the security risks we face if hackers find out where people's homes are. What's more, it's not where they are, but what they are, how they are, what they even look like. Imagine the ease of a criminal finding the residence of anyone he wants to find.
Danger and power seem to go hand in hand if this is allowed to continue. Power and danger from an over-powerful administration, power and danger from tech-savvy hackers. It seems that Big Brother could be looking down on us any day now.

Obama: More Traffic Cameras Needed to 'Monitor' People
Peter Hudler
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON- In an "off-the-record" conversation with reporters, President Barack Obama unveiled a plan to distribute traffic cameras in moderately populated residential and commercial areas in order to 'monitor' the people who live and work there.
The conversation was leaked to the media this afternoon. "People drive fast, people drive poorly, and people die," the President said in the discussion. "We now have cameras at traffic lights to prevent this and catch those who break the law. But we could do so much more.
"Think about the possibilities if we expand the traffic cameras. At every light, we could monitor bad drivers and at every light we can lower crime. The benefits are large."
The President then paused. "But even those possibilities are short-sighted. If we are able to improve the technology behind these surveillance devices, we can observe anyone. Anyone who breaks the law and everyone on the street can be viewed. The drop in crime will be astounding."
Though seen as a means to "lower crime for the good of society" by the administration, fears of a type of "Big Brother" state have grown.
Nicholas Grozny of Astoria, New York said that he fears being watched, regardless of whether he was committing a crime. "I go out and get groceries on the corner of 30th avenue and 44th street," Grozny said. "There's a light with a camera right where the streets merge. I just can't imagine going out to buy some vegetables and having a surveillance device watching everything I do. This isn't the America that I grew up in."
Despite concerns from citizens, the administration released a statement defending its decision.
In the release, the Obama administration cited "rising crime in metropolitan areas" and a "need to save money" as reasons why the cameras were needed. The document digresses, "With an increase in cameras, law enforcement can monitor criminals and civilians cheaply and effectively without putting their officers in harm's way."
The President did not respond to request for a statement.
