And the cycle continues:
I spoke earlier about how people with strongly-held beliefs about controversial subjects tend to be either unable or unwilling to understand the motivation of those who they consider to be their opponents, and commonly ascribe false (and usually objectionable) motivations to them, so that simplistic arguments against them can then be made in such a way that they appear to be irrational, bigoted, or mean-spirited.
At the time, I was speaking to the issue of abortion. But the same logic is seen above.
This has nothing at all to do with taking direction from a woman. I will happily vote for the first gay black Muslim woman to appear on a presidential ballot under the banner of the Libertarian party.
I will not vote for any person, regardless of their race / gender / etc, who is a communist.

Police cars in many large cities have been equipped with cameras on all four corners which do OCR on license plates, log them (with time and location) and check them against a database of red flags (stolen vehicle, outstanding warrant, unpaid tickets, expired registration, etc) for years.

Is it a surprise that large law enforcement agencies are tracking the movement of citizens?

Do schools even still teach math? I'm pretty sure they are too busy prepping kids for pedophilia.
