Gee, if the US is getting rid of everything that could be used to do Very Bad Things, maybe they
should get rid of:

Combustible Fuel
Computers
CD-Recordables
Model Rockets
Amateur Radio
Radio Scanners
Every other country on the face of the Earth
Individual thought and inspiration
Matches
Lighters
Laser Pointers
Magnifying Glasses (you can burn stuff with 'em!)
Fire-fighting robots (they make mistake an agent performing a raid as needing to be extinguished!)

Hey, if they can't trust honest businesspeople, maybe they should just lock every citizen in jail,
where they can keep a close eye on them.

END RANT.

We had *all* better watch out for the FEDs!

PICs and BASIC Stamps just *might* be used to make
timers for terrorist bombs!

Time for another "Tea Party" ?  Next time, we should
throw the *politicians* in the river and *drink* the tea!
