I await your witty, sidelong response followed up with an other opinion editorial. I know you won't disapoint.


well if you'd been rotting away in some orwellian patriot act prison somewhere tied naked to chairs with no access to lawyers, or phones, or any way to contact loved ones, with armed, arrogant keepers poking you, and baiting you, screaming obsenities at you and dogs barking and scaring the hell out of you, lights on lights off, no chair to sit in nor bed to lay in, sprayed with ice water, told when to eat, when to sleep, when to piss, made to crap in your pants, and had this been going on for years without you having been so much as charged with jaywalking, you might begin to feel these guys had absolute power over you.

guess what? i'd forgive you for thinking so.
