Total Criminalization

Are you doing anything illegal in the privacy of your home? It sure would be convenient if we were all criminals. Then, the authorities would only need point their finger in your direction.

All this surveilance, it shouldn't bother us "good" folks, right? Well, unless something we're doing today becomes illegal, tomorrow. I don't think they'll dismantle the framework of privacy invasions just because a few "good" folks raise their hands and complain that things are getting a little uncomfortable.

After all, it's just to catch terrorists, and we have to support that. No matter what. The boogeymans are coming.

But, while we're at it, after we're done with this pesky terrorism phase that darkies are going through, we should do something about the pot smokers. And the goddamned homos, too. Get 'em up against the wall! Man, this new-fashioned police state is a great way to get rid of the undesirables.

Hold on a second, someone is kicking my door down.
