Mark’s blog for today
got me thinking again. My weather page has forecast for two weeks
however it is only accurate for a few hours at best. We need a sky full
of weather drones to go along with government spy drones, marijuana
seeking drones, illegal alien hunting drones, agricultural drones,
traffic drones, astronomy drones, and whatever else they can think of.
Soon, we won’t be able to go outside without carrying special umbrellas
to keep crashing drones and pieces of mid-air collision between drones
and birds from raining own on us. We will take vacations in supposedly “Drone Free” areas just so we can see the sun in day and
stars at night. There are small, personal drones on the market now;
technology will rapidly make them cheap enough for all of us to have a
few. Why not replace birds with drones. Some painted-on bright colors
and a tweet-whistle should cause them to appear somewhat avian-like.
Teach them to catch a few gnats and skeeters, have backyard feeders
stocked with gasoline so they can refuel, and birds will no longer be
needed.
I wonder how our elected leaders will react when We the People begin
using tiny drones in much the same way we “need” and use assault
weapons? Drones for self defense, drones for target practice, drones for
hunting; I think the government would act quickly to make it unlawful
for a private citizen to own drones, N.R.A. or not. What is to keep a
citizen or set of same from stealing a few drones and flying them from
several miles away into the unsuspecting heads of the president or
congress members … or anyone? Taxpayers will have to provide those
law-making weasels protection. The good part: most elected miscreants
will be afraid to appear in the open. Drones, as terrible as their use
in killing innocents is, ain’t all bad.
