Power of the Small: It had to happen sooner or later?
By Diana Nelson Apr 3, 2006, 13:29 GMT
According to an article in the March 27th edition of the Washington Post, our beloved government-gone-mad is now inspecting our sewers for signs of cocaine and other drug use. Lordy, is nothing sacred?
If they don't get us at the intersections with cameras blinking away to record our every move, and they don't get us in email when we write nasty words, if they don't get us when we talk on our cellphones; if they don't get us when we chit chat to the local neighbor; then, by God! our government will get us when we sit down to pee. Or whatever.
What on earth can they do with all this information?
The Rubes in Suits Brigade can't make heads or tails out of what they've got now when it involves half the Arab world conspiring to blow down the tallest buildings in America.
They can't manage the money when we give them more zeros than most of us can count?
Ya know, as a parent and a grandparent, it's a lot like having the neighbor kid come over to play. You know they're going to plunder in your drawers and dig out everything and maybe steal a bit of change or a bauble, but even they don't mess about in your pee.
Christ, you guys. Enough is enough.
