Right now there is a more powerful type of drone watching what you are doing. But don´t worry at all. it is just a small amount of software code inside your computing device.

Amazing that this type of "bot" can shoot down all the drones shown above!

This is very troubling to me. Am I the only one who has a problem with assasinating people with remote control airplanes? Where does that lead? I mean, if you can do that and not have a problem, what else can you do? Are we now just assasins? Is this honorable? What does this say about us? What if someone used one of these against us? What would you think about them?

BINGO! The reason this is happening is too many of us are watching "The Voice" and "American Idol" and not enough of us are informed advocates of our own country anymore or have the back bone to say anything. BTW this is not a "left" or "right" sham issue - this is a basic "what do we stand for" issue. There may very well be reasons it might be nice to have the easy button on issues where killer drones work but it's a Genie that can't be put back in the bottle now. In ten years we only have ourselves to blame for killer drones in use by others whom we might very well wish didn't have such easy and powerful technology at their disposal and what are we going to say about it?
