    An artist by the name of Essam Attia had been caught by the NYPD posting pictures of the like you see below all over the city. Perfectly understandable arrest, but the image he was putting up is provocative, if not conversation worthy. Even though the concept of drones being used in the US is quite unbelievable, this is not a fantasy to people overseas. This weapon is being used to kill, both inside and outside the lines of war, and certainly against more than just conventional combatants. (including "terrorists")

    But I believe that is the heart of the problem when bringing up conversation about it. No drones are being used against us, so we don't care as much, just like if no Agent Orange were dumped into your neighborhood, you don't really care about the causalties, or if no flood waters swept away your homes, you tend to not invest much thought into the matter except the deep feelings of dread it might bring up because home security, in general, is something that most people feel.

    I think, in these pictures, the artist was merely trying to get people to think, "What would you do if this was happening to you?".

    And so I ask, What would you do if drones were being used in the US against anyone, and is it any more fair there than here?
