The Issue The Police department is considering installing surveillance cameras in all major public areas, in an effort to crack down on crime. The Debate "This is a blatant invasion of the right to privacy!" says libertarian web site operator Miranda Clinton. "Now I can't even go out in public any more without being watched? And you know this is just the beginning. Today there are cameras in city streets. Tomorrow they're peering through your bedroom window." [Accept] "Hey, I've got news for you," says Police media liaison Naki Rifkin. "When you're out in public, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. These cameras will be extremely helpful in reducing the national crime rate. Frankly, I can't see what the fuss is about." [Accept] "This 'slippery slope' argument has got me thinking," says Police Minister Bill Dodinas. "You know, it would be a lot easier to fight crime if we watched people all the time. Not with cameras, of course. That's clearly an invasion of privacy. But how about a national database of our citizens, coupled with compulsory ID cards and barcoding? It would stop crime dead in its tracks." [Accept] The Government Position The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue. If you wish, you may simply dismiss this issue. http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index....tive_indecision Crime is moderate currently. |

OK. We voted for the cameras but not for ID cards. Will post the next update and issue Monday. If we want to go to 7 day issues, I will need help. Collective Indecision Status Report The Community of Collective Indecision "In Lampshadius We Drinkum!!!" UN Category: New York Times Democracy Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: the South Pacific The Community of Collective Indecision is a small, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct. The large government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 24%. A large private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Basket Weaving. Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate. Collective Indecision's national animal is the Badger and its currency is the Lampshade. Collective Indecision is ranked 6630th in the region and 83,492nd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens. The part I bolded plus any spam we recieve will be a regular feature and we can come up with "colorful" ways to answer spammers http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index....tive_indecision Frankly, this is fun!! We really can collectively run a good show. (I doubt thats news to most but its nice affirmation

Humanoids. LR took care of the spam you refer to before I saw your message. We can always use boardwatchers. I obviously am on a lot early AM EST. Post when you can be avialable and check out how the format works and go to it. Thanks |
