As much as people want to complain about lack of privacy are we living in the good ole days of any at all?

I envision the day you have none.

    At the present time, "privacy" means a door on the toilet stall, but not implying that it totally conceals you from view.

    In ten or twenty years from now, these WILL be the good old days. If you dont think we have privacy now,  you havent seen the future.

    China now has a camera system that can recognize a wanted person anywhere in town. In a test, it took seven minutes to locate the subject.

    Some cities in the USA are close to that. Not very close, but close.

    No, the good ole days have long gone, I hope that by the time of what's to come is a reality that I'm not around for it.  No coincidence that George Orwell who wrote 1984 was the student at Eton of Aldous Huxley who wrote A Brave New World (here's a letter from Aldous to Orwell)

    who's grandfather was Thomas Huxley (Darwins Bulldog). Aldous Huxley's brother was Julian Huxley who was an evolutionist (evolutionary humanism which meant he sustained the image of eugenics as humane), a eugenicist, and an internationalist and first director of UNESCO.

    Thomas Huxley - "We are sorry for you, we will do our best for you (and in so doing we elevate ourselves, since mercy blesses him that gives and him that takes), but we deny you the right to parentage. You may live, but you must not propagate."
