Just this morning I was sitting out in front of a coffee shop in San Francisco when some guy rode by on his bicycle wearing Google Glasses. This group of guys next to me spent the next 10 minutes straight just cracking jokes about that guy and his computer glasses.

Quite. About 1/3 of US citizens live within it: https://d320ze5h7gg57a.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/webroot/privacy/spying/cfz_map/Image-Map.gif

So what you're saying is that you don't give a damn about me when I'm cycling because you've been witness to other people being reckless fools on their bikes? That's sure what it sounds like. Should I conclude that all drivers are a menace because I see so many cars speeding, running stop signs, and cutting people off? Should I conclude that all pedestrians are reckless because I've seen so many jaywalkers?

It's funny you say that, because they've already passed laws that authorize the DHS to conduct random no-warrant, no-probably-cause boat searches: 14 USC 89(a) reads "[Coast Guard] officers, may at anytime, go aboard any vessel subject to the jurisdiction or to the operation of any law of the U.S., address inquiries to those on board, examine the ship's documents and papers, and examine, inspect, and search the vessel, and use all necessary force to compel compliance."

Dude, give it up. He has a 4-digit ID. You stand no chance.

Or was it the exact same view that drove some of the worst monsters in history to commit some of the worst atrocities ever?

Uhh... who said it was all ok?

No they haven't. His incarceration is ending. His civil commitment is beginning. All they've said is that you can still be committed to a mental hospital for being crazy/dangerous, even if you've just completed your prison sentence for committing a crime. The latter does not get you out of the former.

My god. The roads would be safe.
