I'm thinking about the "power of that" and I don't think I'll be getting any sleep.
That's what all our reports say, yes.
These alleged human beings and the members of this organization need to be exterminated. I mean literally strung up from lampposts so we can watch their rotting flesh drip off.

This is a perfect time to read Chris Capozzola's Uncle Sam Wants You, of which there's a short article excerpt here, on (his phrase) "coercive voluntarism" and the US in World War I. It'll sound more familiar to you than you might think. Edited at 2009-10-23 01:03 pm (UTC)

I'm on the fence about this. On the one hand, I support citizens being part of their own defense. On the other, this feels like the start of Brown Shirts. I'm not even sure I can articulate a clearer message: report obviously wrong things, but don't be a d-bag.

I can clear that up for you: reporting everything you're uncertain about to law enforcement isn't "being part of [one's] own defense." It's outsourcing common sense.

"If You Suspect Anything, Do Everything."
Wow. I'll totally be replaying and replaying Burroughs's thanksgiving prayer over and over this year. "Thanks for a country where nobody's allowed to mind his own business. Thanks for a nation of FINKS."
That was a joke, right? A parody? Please
that's... serious?
and it's the police department that is putting it out?
