Your right to privacy? Fail.

During my morning news run I was hit with the following:

1. The fed are now looking to tax drivers by the mile. Which means they get to put a little black box transceiver in your car.

They say they need this because cars are more fuel efficient and they are losing revenue on the gas tax. Well then just raise the gas tax. That will encourage the adoption of more fuel efficient vehicles better than a flat rate per mile.

2. A bill that will require YOU (yes you) to keep a two year log of all your Internet usage.

This is what you see in Police States. Laws that are overly burdensome and thus generally ignored but it gives authorities something to hang on you anytime they want.

3. Chicago mayor vows to "Put a surveillance camera on every corner".

Does anyone believe this will only be used for good? In Illinois?
