You lookin' at ME??

Fellow residents of the Hattiespatch,
Have you noticed all the nice new cameras the city has been putting up to keep an eye on you? Don’t they make you feel so much more safe, and secure? Don’t you love Big Brother the way he likes to watch over you 24/7. It harkens back to a simpler time...Oh, say 1984?
Thomas Jefferson once said, "Those who would trade freedom for security will lose both, and deserve niether."
How about we put a camera in the Mayor’s office, the Chief of Police’s office, and in the City Council? We could hook them up to a 24/7 web site, so any time a citizen feels like it they can log on, and watch exatly what their public servants are doing on the taxpayers dime.
Or, perhaps we should just sit back, drink our Victory Gin, learn our duck speak, and wait for the bullet.
