finally, an answer. one that based on pie in the sky, but a direct answer, thank you.

Apparently this app went through alot of changes before they approved the final version.
I found this early version which I thought was pretty interesting.

We could at least give it a try. Can't deny that it beats hating everyone and being afraid of everyone.

i'm in! :)

The idea behind it is great. As much as I don't agree with the Patriot Act, and Homeland Security. But still, the idea behind the app is still actually good.

The MVP winner of the the Superbowl "New Orleans Saints" should get to decide our next course of action.

I just downloaded this version and it rocks......I never knew there were so many trees as big as mountains.

I was personally concerned about the disco skaters and the possibility of yet another Resident Evil movie;)

this can help with taking your enemies behind the wall

I can't look into Amp's mind, but isn't it possible that he doesn't have a problem with authority but with blind obedience? because that is what we are heading for; we are constantly being 'encouraged' to question the motives/intentions of our peers, but questioning the intentions or effectiveness of those who are supposed to protect and serve us is a big no no.

i agree with amp... alot of people see things like this as an isolated little detail, but add all these little things up and you can see that a police state is being created in small subtle steps... although that screen at walmart is not so subtle.
It's fear mongering propaganda from your own government and nothing else.

All this recent pushing for "public participation" in the fight on terror boils down to one thing, and that is not the fear of foreign terrorists, but the the fear of domestic enemies of the state. The United States is slowly slipping into a state of pre-revolution. The economy is failing, the income gap is growing, government controls are getting stricter and a large portion of the population stands in direct opposition of what their own government is doing. That portion of the population appears to be growing too. What the American government fears more than anything else at this point is being overthrown by it's own people. No government in he world has the power to take out the United States. This whole DHS video display and Patriot App style of counter-terrorism they are coming out with now has very little to do with Achmed hiding out waiting to blow up the pentagon, and more to do with reporting your neighbor for saying the government is wrong and someone should off the president. Why? Because he could be a terrorist for having that opinion. How long before simply having that opinion alone is terms for an arrest or imprisonment?

If people don't see some serious issue with the direction this is going for them, they deserve to live simply as owned livestock that they are. If that's what they want to call freedom so be it. They're probably the same type of people who support the government's desire to strip citizens rights to own firearms too. Because they are dangerous! For get the fact that that whole line in the constitution was about people having the ability to overthrow their government should it lose control.

Never in history have people been so grossly overpowered by their own government. The people of most armed governments today, couldn't overthrow the people in power if the entire fucking nation wanted to. It's disgusting to watch people buy right into the bullshit. There was a day when if the government was doing something out of line and people could band together and take up arms and change shit. Those days are done. If you're not towing the party line, you're a fucking enemy, and ow we have a sweet iPhone app that your neighbor can use to tell the appropriate agency so. I hope those of you who blindly buy into all this shit in the name of personal security are the first to eat bullets when the shit hits the fan, I really do.

but that's not what's going on here. my view is a great example. i question authority often. i'm on record here recognizing some police abuse their authority, tsa is out of control, etc. but i also try and look for solutions to the problem, which is we live in a society with rules that are in place for the benefit of the whole so how do we enforce those rules.
I also prod others when they incorrectly portray things, such as stating the u.s. is a police state, which it currently is not. and the fact that there have been "neighbors report suspicious activity* programs for many years already yet there is no widespread abuse of that nor government taking advantage of that.

that all gets interpreted as endorsing the police state and i've been labeled a sheep that needs to pull his head out of his ass and wake up.

it's not about questioning authority for these people like amp, it's about "enlightening" others to one's fearful view of their world and requiring everyone agree with it. or else.
