Have a really nice day Succatash and count on me never trying to curb your rhetoric again.

Meleaux, you are so very nice, please forgive my obnoxious behavior. Seriously. I meant no offense to you.

I'm in Toronto. It's been trippy here for the past 24 hours. We're currently on what they're calling rolling blackouts where different areas lose power for a few hours at a time. It first came back on around midnight last night and has gone off twice today.It sounds like it will be a few days before it's all back to normal. Public transit is off 'til monday so it's wild seeing what looks like the whole city walking.

Sometimes I get confused, but George W. has asked us Americans to turn in our neighbors for acting suspicious. Police officers now have the ability to search anyone they think may be a "Terrorist." Phone lines, email, etc. may be freely tapped by the government and American citizens can be seized and held in secret indefinitely on no formal charges.

Then, this huge blackout happens involving Canada and 1/4 of the U.S. and immediately we are assured it is not a terrorist attack by the media and White House.

But nobody knows what happened, even 48 hours later. An official was quoted as saying, "There have been no signs of an explosion." Just because nothing exploded doesn't mean anything.

It seems very likely that some kind of computer generated signal or radio wave or surge could knock out power without a big explosion.

My fear is that the US government tells us to be afraid of terrorists when there aren't any, but then when shit hits the fan they lie and say nothing is wrong.

I don't fear the shit hitting the fan, I don't fear more biuldings blowing up (any more than I fear unlikely death of myself or others by other means) I fear the gradual diminishment of our liberties.

There is a state full of licence plates reading "Live Free or Die" I don't see them fighting as their freedoms get taken away.

I think it's stupid to protect the "Land of the Free" by taking away that freedom.

I don't want to give the wrong idea, I don't think that the government is evil or anything, but even well meaning measures can have horribly negative effects.

(Well maybe I do think that the government is a little evil.)

All the terrorists turned their blenders on at the same time and boom.
