Samsung has announced a Smartphone app that will send out an SOS and summon help if you need it. The idea is simple. The Smartphone has GPS so it knows where you are at all times. In trouble? A press of a button and the police or ambulance crew knows exactly where you are. Sounds great. But if the cops know where you are because your Smartphone knows where you are, who else knows where you are? Do we really want everyone to know where we are at every moment of the day and night? Do we now live in the proverbial fishbowl? Will the ACLU save us from this invasion of privacy? And if they do, who will save us from the ACLU?

Does the ACLU think this app is a lark

If they do they will surely allow

A citizen periled to call a loud “Hark!”

From Nairobi to far off Palau

For as we all know it’s the ACLU

That always is on freedom’s side

Demanding that criminals pay what is due

And leaving them no place to hide

I fully expect that the crime stopper apps

Will be lauded and praised by the Dems

And profiling criminal types will, perhaps

Be one of our civil rights gems

I’m dreaming of course for the left never sleeps

They’re hearts bleed for all but a few

They’re always on sides with the perverts and creeps

Our guardians, the ACLU
