All the wonderfully reasonable minds in t.p.m. see all, know all, and KNOW that all is, if not under control, controllable. Why, we'll just "vote" the rascals out, yeah, that'll fix 'em. And our "experts" will tell us that the demographics indicate that all will be better anyway, 'cuz we'll have less of a certain type in the future, what with the graying of Amerryca 'n' all that. And the kops, sure, they're *enlisted* in the war on drugs, 'cuz they enjoy wonderful "salaries", and they know the importance of "enforcing" the "law" of the land. McJustice, a product of McGovernment, and it's the best McJustice money can buy! Yes, it's enshrined in a 200-year old holy writ, uh, document, the "Phillip Morris Constition." Yes, those nasty ol' death-dealing tobacco merchants are in on the pyramid o' Power too, and they've bought the x-clusive rights to market the Constitution, showing it encased in all-protective glass, yes, really, it still is a functioning document, it really does limit the power of McGov. to bust a halide-light shop owner as an evil conspirator in the "war" against "drugs" (especially the wrong drugs, 'cuz the Phillip Morris Constitution can't legally sponsor crack yet, not till McGov and McJustice decide to "legalize" and "regulate" the sale and distribution). But no, really, it's all crazy, this can't be true, the Holocaust didn't happen, and people are NOT easily duped into becoming mass conspirators in efforts to control their lives, really, it is just a separate, disparate bunch of special interests, really really it is! Now, would someone get this McGovernment off my front? Somewhere around ten years ago, some old actor said he'd get it off my back, and damn if it didn't just migrate around to my front, sink in int tentacles a little deeper, and invite all sorts of other controllers in to play! Yes, we are now co-conspirators in our own oppressions, and we always will be. And so will you. Orwell didn't quite get it right -- the mass of humanity must at least THINK it's better off than four years ago (when does the interest and principal on those ol' U.S. McGov't bonds come due anyway?). After that, control is necessary, it's useful, it's desirable, yes, we're sorry you can't afford your first house, really, it ain't a bad neighborhood. Oh, those nine locks on every door and window didn't prevent the burglary? Well, it's YOUR FAULT, you didn't back it up with an alarm system! It's the price you pay for living in the best damn country that ever was! So love it or leave it, cuz nobody, NOBODY, is a well off as an American! Especially the poor slob trying to grow food in C. America, while the CIA is spraying carcinogenic defoliants on every growing thing in sight, to "protect" our "country" (the United Social Darwinist States of America(tm)) from the "scourge" of "drugs!" Thank you, and good night. Don at efsl@tahoma.UUCP (no, I'm not Mike) NOBODY would be crazy enough to hold my opinions. It would mean that they're sane!
