Big brother watching???

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, look out - big brother is watching us, ooh, ooh! Give me a break! What are we, a bunch of cry babies? Oh my, there are cameras to watch us blow off red lights, there are cameras watching us on some of the streets. Now they propose to have cameras to watch us speed around like a bunch of nuts. We're yelling "speed trap," "money maker" and at the same time using our cars as a phone booth. But no one is saying that it's about time, that things are getting out of hand. What are we doing, going mad?

Look around you, very few people are obeying the traffic laws. Watch a traffic light or stop sign and the people that are passing you by at high rates of speed on our highways while you do the speed limit.

To the law makers I say YES, place cameras all over the place. Hit law breakers with heavy fines and take their driving privileges away for repeated violations. Then maybe, just maybe, some of this craziness will stop.
