I'm trying to balance my obeisance to Godwin's Law with my very strong criticism/fear of drones in US airspace.

It's hard. I _really_ think the potential for UAV abuse is high.

But it's a Law of the Internet, I guess. You win this round.

I agree, however there's no legal standing to challenge it on. I'd rather spend my energy, instead of trying to fight something that is going to pass, to instead fight the abuses and make sure that the tool can't be misused too badly. Denying the tool outright is just silly, especially with our current understanding of privacy.

"Godwin's Law" is nothing but another stupid Internet meme. It's about as useful as Natalie Portman covered in hot grits in Soviet Russia while welcoming our new Overlords by emailing South Korean people using Plan Nine From Outer Space. With Frickin' lasers.
