Scary stuff

OK, normally, I reserve my LJ for just fan related stuff, but this sort of is... and it's scary:

Well that's sick. And very, very scary.

Obviously they don't have enough work to do with all the regular stuff--oh, like fighting drugs and terrorists and such. They'll have to raise the taxes to afford the warehouses where they will store everyone's computers when we all idly think about possibly downloadings something we shouldn't have.

I know! And the whole thing about copyright infringement... *shudder* I really don't see how they can relate downloading music or pictures to terrorism... I mean, really, should Homeland Security be spending its time notifying the RIAA about possible copyright infringement? That's crazy. It's all about money and power. Grrr.

It totally is.

Here was a weird and semi-funny thought -- if they take all our computers, we'll have to go our and buy more computers! Then, if they take those, we'll go and buy more.... Maybe it is an insidious plot to keep computer manufacturer's in business?
