Drones
Sunday - 15Feb2015 Filed in: Liberty&Morality & Modern Life
I’ve been watching some drone videos on YouTube.
The geek in me goes “I want one NOW!” There are some amazing canyons in my neck of the woods and I would love to explore them with a drone.
The historian in me is fascinated by the military implications. Send one of these things up from a tank or armored transport and you’ve got an instant recon with no risk of life.
The libertarian in me is horrified by the loss of privacy. I don’t want my neighbors peeking in my back yard. And I certainly don’t want the local cops using these things to peek in windows.
If he were still alive, I think my grandfather would be pulling out his shotgun.
