The headline makes sense a little further into the bonfire, so never mind.

The sparkling husband primitive:

GM's "OnStar" ..... good thing to have or Big Brother evil?

Yeah ... this seems pretty random. But GM has been running ads showing a cop chasing a "stolen" Escalade or Suburban or something. The gist of the ad is that, with OnStar, the police can request that the car be slowed down to a stop, thus avoiding dangerous chases.

Man ...... that possibility has two sides! How great to be able to bring real bad guys to a stop in a controlled way.

What's to stop a cop from doing this to anyone who pisses him off.

Then there's the whole matter of the OnStar having the ability - whether used or not - to track you as you move about. How soon until that gets into some criminal trial someplace placing a person at the scene of a heinous 1 ounce weed purchase?

A similar ad shows this guy in a single car accident, at night, on a lonely road. The voiceover tells the man that OnStar reported an airbag deployment and that help is on the way. The feeble voice of the man says "please hurry."

As I said, a two sided issue.

What do you think about OnStar?

14. Damn. I could have SWORN I posted this in GD, but it shows having been moved from GDP

DU seems a little hinky today.

On topic, the primitives have mixed feelings about these gadgets.

Whenever you wake up and start showing the same concern that, should we ever get universal/single payer healthcare, the gov't will have access to all our private medical information, then I might consider that you're sincere.  But, it being the case that you're around 60 years old and haven't woken up yet, I'm not looking for this to be an issue.

But a chip in your forehead or right hand with all your medical records will be just fine....right?....right?

This is shamefully off-topic, but can I just put this here?  I have a bouncy that really happened!

Actual Moonbat Found on My Doorstep Last Night!

At 8:00 last night, there was a jovial sort of knock at the door. At the door stood a skinny little fella with long straggly hair. "Hello," he said, "I'm not a salesman, I'm a Community Organizer!" He said this with his thumb pointing proudly to his chest. "We are working to organize the community around social justice concerns and the environment!"
Well, we've always joked on here about what we'd do if someone like that came to our door. I was at a loss for words, but I think my facial expressions spoke for me. I reacted as if he'd handed me a live tarantula: Puzzlement, followed by abject horror, followed by utter disgust. "I'm kinda busy right now." "Oh but it will only take a minute!" he squeaked, as I shut the heavy oak door and locked it audibly.

I just had to share. This is a conservative small town, I hope the little fella was OK.

Why don't these types ever come to my door? I'm dying to ask them where all my "freebies" are. The only satisfaction I ever get is the local fish wrapper trying to drum up business, and the smile I get from the opportunity to politely tell them I'm not interested in leftist propaganda :D

That's great!  Here in my area, the best I really ever get to do is when when I'm walking around downtown and some freak hands me a libtard flier about some upcoming event or their latest drivel on why conservatives are evil, I stop, briefly look it over, crumple it up, and toss it in the trash right in front of them.  That's always fun.  :-)

Dammit, Karin, why didn't you try to convert the little bastard? You had a chance to have a true story that would parallel a DUmp bouncy!
