    It reminds me of how "terrorists" are all around us and how there are weapons of mass destruction in the sand dunes. Fall of the Republic[^]

    That one has been floating around the intartubes for a while now... Cool to watch, but I doubt it was all done in one run. They probably had to cut and splice to make it look continuous. EDIT: To those afraid... The video he posted is entirely SFW, and not political in nature :) Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Developer, Author (Guardians of Xen)

    One could assume that it is merely Gillian posturing again. Her need to set herself apart from the hoi polloi. However, Gillian is older than her somewhat naive postings would indicate, indeed she claims to have programmed using punched cards. I have encountered many older programmers, set in their 'procedural' ways, unable fully to grasp the concepts of OOP. No matter how frequently they were mentored, re-working their code to an acceptable form, they would continue to produce work of a procedural nature. This is a form of 'passive-aggressive' behaviour. (Some exhibited other symptoms: complaining, procrastination, resentment, sullenness.) Perhaps Gillian has been in this position and exhibited this behaviour. If, at some level, she were aware of this, her loathing of the 'mind set' and her use of it as an insult in Code Project, are explained.

    I am disappointed that you could provide no links to where your government has told you that FEMA camps are for terrorists and Gitmo prisoners. I understood that your government told you that the FEMA camps were to accommodate citizens in time of natural catastrophe. CaptainSeeSharp wrote: The camps are for the disobedient slaves in the wonderful utopia of locked down militarized cities. Then the camps in which they were impounded could accurately be called concentration camps, as they would contain a concentration of a particular segment of society (disobedient slaves) in one place. How would a locked-down militarized city work? Going about your daily business, that sort of thing? How many militia per 1000 of population? Would citizens commute from the suburbs into the city?

This would be why I snicker every time I hear about how RFIDs are going to be used to enslave us all. They're useful for tracking packages and other things that don't get annoyed with people feeling the need to know where they all at all times. That second group tends to learn how to subvert them in short order, or render them useless.

    What I found funny was that the video was created by a commodities broker dealing in Gold and Silver, and a couple of Penny Share scammers. Bob Emmett I solemnly declare that I do not wish the USA to be more like Britain, Canada, or Oz.

Well, the raccoons I've disposed of sure didn't have such luxurious tails. Hmmm .... I wonder .... is that apparent change due to "evolution" in real-time?

    CaptainSeeSharp wrote: This is full of denial and is indicative of the disconnect you have with the society and disregard for humanity. You have the mindset of a eugenicist. Tis is the usual bollocks from you. You've polled 'eugenecists' and worked out their mindset ?
