The boiling frog is a false metaphor (snopes). The behaviors of Goobermint employees more closely resemble those of stalkers, rapists, pedophiles, or serial killers. There comes a point where only the very lucky escape with their virtue intact. Fortunately the Framers gave everybody a way out if they would take it.

Well, Wikipedia might disagree, saying that if the heating is sufficient gradual, it works. The truth is the metaphor works in this case.

The American people have gradually accepted more and more government intervention, up to Obamacare, which might possibly be where the frog jumps out. You get the IT geeks mad about snooping, you've engaged the Left, just like Ron Wyden, whose work on this I admire.

So maybe someone here can answer a question for me. I'm using an ancient Motorola flip phone. mr. creeper has one even older than mine. At what point did tracking of cell phones become possible or was it always available?

Cell tower triangulation would allow carriers (and the government) to track location within a meter or so.

It's unclear whether smart-phones equipped with GPS are sharing that data with carriers while not informing subscribers.
