Prison of Ignorance

     Big Brother is all around us, although no where near to the extent as the novel 1984.  If you think about it, any security camera or any thing like it is controlled by the government.  I assume that it is against the law just to seize someone's video footage, but let's be honest, our government does what they want.  If they don't like something you uncover, you'll disappear.  My dad was telling me once about a conspiracy theorist that was uncovering a long hidden secret in the government.  During his research, he wrote a journal ,in which he stated
  he was coming close to finding out something big, and don't be surprised if he was "suicided" because of what he was finding.  I believe it was a month later, this same man was found dead of apparent suicide, but with no weapon or means to kill himself near him.  Getting to my point, what the government wants, the government gets, and there is nothing we can do about it.  Sure we may try to fight, but who is willing to give their life for something as simple as their video footage.
     Their is obviously no such thing as privacy anymore.  if you have a cell phone, the cell phone company can track where you are whenever they want.  Sure, there is an option to turn the gps signal off, but do you really believe that they can't just flip a switch and turn it back on?  Of course no one is watching us in our homes, but when we are out on the street, there are traffic cameras, store security cameras, etc... in short, I believe that America is ignorant to the fact that we are really always being watched, but i guess ignorance is bliss and U.S.A seems to be the happiest place on earth.
     Many people give up some of their freedoms for their own safety.  Back to my point about all of the cameras and being watched, people feel safe because their is a security camera watching out for you, but truthfully, that camera is suspicious of each and every one of us.  No one is a normal person in a security camer's eye, you are the criminal until you leave that camera's view without committing a crime.
     I hate being watched and the feeling of being watched.  i am especially uncomfortable with all the GPS tracking that in my phone and my computer.  I don't want the novel 1984 to become reality, but in some ways, it already has.
