If Sci-Fi is the Future...

Look around you. Many people have the audacity to say that we are heading for



if we follow a road to transhumanism. I say we are already there. The TSA has now made it legal for a perv to feel up your thirteen year old daughter or son, in the name of "security."
Can you honestly say that


is really any different from

and keep a straight face? Is that not the precursor to a true police state?
You self styled "Freedom Watchers", small government, and equality-for-all people are the same bigots that cry for the government to invade our lives even more.

The only reason that we don't live in a true police state now is the fact that our "elected" leaders don't have the balls to tell you. In the American state of Florida, the entire state's policing agencies fall under an all encompassing agency called the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Their mission statement is pretty straight forward: To promote public safety and strengthen domestic security by providing services in partnership with local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies to prevent, investigate, and solve crimes while protecting Florida’s citizens and visitors.

A Federally funded program based in Florida, and run by FDLE, is trying to link public records and private databases into the “Multistate Anti-Terrorist Information Exchange.” Find it at www.matrix-at.org. It's primary function is to collect information on anyone that may have a reason for feeling angry at the country. Its secondary function is to create connections from every convicted felon in the U.S. down to everyone they've been involved with throughout their life, Including all US citizens that have been convicted of ANY crime, served in the armed forces since Nam, or has any family living in any part of the world that has a populace with a grudge against the US. It has a data-mining bug as its basis, and is being challenged by the ACLU for constitutionality. It doesn't matter, though. No-one even knows that it exists. The information they collect is very in-depth, delving into the most private aspects of one's life. It was created by the PATRIOT Act, and has fallen under the radar.

We already are living in a police state. We better get used to it. If Sci-Fi is the future, why don't we just act like we're living in Sci-Fi?
