The public aren't worthy of individual martyrdom.

Humanity are not, as a group, admirable. Humans sometimes are before the rest eat them.

Humanity is a hostile environment. Always has been.

Mastering what you own is educational fun so there's every reason to learn.

Volume is not quality. Those who object can go elsewhere.

Only destructive attacks can coerce wise choices.

Religion should be relegated to its proper place: a private belief, or a hobby. No more exemptions: what is good for the goose is good for the gander, same rules for all. And no more protected status. Most religions' tenets are reprehensible. Some not so much in practice, others very much so, on average. But in either case we should have the courage to stand up to such ideas... and not be stricken down in name of the law for it.
"Life of Brian" could not be made today. A Muslim version would be completely out of the question. That's the position that religion has in our lives these days.

Slopflooding is sabotage under guise of assistance.

Violence including war is an accepted therefore acceptable method of resolving various human problems, including social parasites like the people who sold adulterated infant formula with fatal results in China. Their public liquidation sent a healthy message some people are refuse to get when asserted by lesser means.

If some life is precious it follows other lives are the opposite.

Now with more... molecules!

Schools have plenty of inquiring student minds capable of studying how existing camera systems affect criminal acts, for example if and how they deter crime or improve speed and quality of security response.

Students are school customers with an obvious need to know. They could contribute useful studies from their service consumer perspective.

We cannot precisely understand real impact without valid information. Cameras in public space are not cameras in private space. Colleges could precisely compare situational impact, study relevant laws and precedents, and much more. Students could be ideal evaluators since they unlike surveillance system businesses are not selling anything.

What might student study of these systems look like? Humanity needs third party (not sellers, not criminals) investigation and neutral explanation of subjects technically and legally uninformed people cannot easily understand. Education is civilization's continuity.
