The bad guys are the citizens who work to maintain their own ignorance and do nothing to maintain and uphold the rights they enjoy; who don't demand freedom of press; or understand the consequences of these policies, policies eroding their rights to congress and converse freely without fear of suppression.

I don't judge the government for exploring facial recognition technology - there are motivating utilitarian arguments and they have the tools right in front of them. They are doing /something/, even if I think it's deeply wrong. But I do judge those who stick their head in the sand, or sit on their laurels, and that includes myself. We also have motivating arguments and the tools to express them.

I don't want to be part of generation of citizens whose children will say they learned nothing from history - beside the Nuremberg defense.
