The Pub Discussion Board

I am new to this group.  Hope you find this interesting.
This morning on the news there was an article under discussion concerning fuel taxes and supporting the government and state infrastructures.  The more I listened the more I was appalled.
Our king obama wants to tax drivers by placing a GPS tracking device on every vehicle.  In this way, they can keep track of how many miles you drive and you will pay a tax on that.  One state, Minnesota, is testing this already and several states are discussing implementation

There are so many things wrong with this, I find it bizarre. Well, bizarre to me and a lot of people, but maybe not so much this government.
  Just to remove the money part from this equation, pretend for a moment that everyone had enough money to pay for an extra tax.  Let us assume that no one would feel the pinch of giving more money for government.  I know it is a stretch, but just for now, try it.  Every thing is peachy, I can get gas whenever I need it and fuel becomes a nonissue.  Cool. 
What the news did not mention is this.
This is not a fantasy.  If they put gps on all vehicles.
Homeland Security, who has already deemed most Americans as possible terrorists decides they can "protect" more people if they had a way to monitor.  Oh yea, the little gps thing added to my vehicle to monitor my miles.  Rest assured that if they can monitor each mile you drive the car, they can also monitor any place you go.  They can monitor and store anything you do.
You might not remember where you went when you were cruising last year, but they will know.  If there was a murder or terrorist attack in a neighborhood you drove through, they would have that record and you would be an immediate suspect.  You might not remember being in that area, but don't worry, there will be a record.  You have the right of innocent until proven guilty, but you know how our legal system is.  You will still need to prove that you are not guilty.
People will become very afraid to leave their house except when they absolutely have to. Government protests will pretty much disappear.  The government will be able to tell exactly who was there.  If you want a drink some evening, there will be proof that you stopped at a nightclub. 
Anywhere you go will be in a database somewhere.  Most times, you can tell what a person is doing, just by knowing where they are.
They will know if you are at church, work, home, school, a bar, a strip club, house of ill repute, or sneaking around on the spouse at another persons home or motel.  If you are parked at a gunshop or gun show, they will know it.  If you do or write anything that is sooner or later considered dangerous or questionable, there will be a rcord of that tied exactly to you.All this information on everyone can be shared with all the different "security" organizations like the FBI, CIA, DHS, ATF, IRS, NSA, .....
  This information alone would also be worth billions of dollars and you know how well private information is protected.
I believe this to not only be wrong, I believe it to be against the Constitution and against any freedom loving person.
At this point, I would not be able to cooperate in this slavery of America.  I just won't.  They would problably have a prison penalty for refusing, but I draw the line there.
I know on the surface that this is a reach and really paranoid sounding.  The problem is though, we have the technology for this and it would be easy to do.  Also, our government has no qualms about anything like this, some of them want it. So paranoid might not be the right description.
Right now, all cattle that are sold have to be marked.  All milk by law has to be pasteurized.  The government is even fining people for selling vegetables and fruit that they have grown.  Not all the time, but it seems like they are testing out this action.
Handy for pet owners or people that worry about their children in this day and age, we now use RFID and VERICHIPs.  These are implanated under the skin of your pet, possibly your child in order to make sure they do not get lost or stolen.  The last few years, the government has been pushing hard to make it law that any animal you are tryiing to sell, must have an implanted chip.  You will not have to worry about it being stolen.  But then again, the government knows exactly what you are doing.  If you butcher the creature, they will know.  If you sell it, they will know.  This leads to more taxes and more control.
Kinda like the mark of the beast isn't it?
  The more I write, the more it seems like a science fiction conspiracy theory.   For many of us that believe in freedom and our way of life and have expressed opinions, it is too late.  You know there is a database that tracks all that.
  When Orwell wrote"1984", did he have any idea? A good book, nice fiction, but we are way past "1984".
