I AWOKE FROM DREAMING ABOUT JUST WARS
Or something ...
It also had to do with the SUS laws.
Except they don't call it that anymore.
Sussex police are Deeply Proud that their stop-and-search operations result in a ten percent charge rate.
Well above the national average.
Um yeah well, not that many blacks in Sussex.
And this is a *nice force.
{Think about it -- nine out of ten people stopped and questioned are going about their Lawfool Businsesses.
Even in Sussex.}
But you don't have to worry about telephone intercepts unless you're chatting to an al-Quaida operative.
Does Ali Q do cold calling?
"Hey, Jimmy, ever thought about signing up for jihad?"
But to get back to the point of this nightmare ...
When I Was Very Young (admittedly a Very Long Time Ago) the Inverse Square Rule applied ...
If the buggers invaded you, fighting back was Legitimate Defence.
[The old joke -- "This animal is dangerous -- when attacked, it fights back."]
The further off a war was fought, the less legitimate it was.
This was taken pretty much for granted.
Now, of course, we have Preventive Strikes.
Hey, you know the question the Bushy-Moustached Colonels used to ask the conchies?
"What would you do if a German tried to rape your sister?"
-- wonder what the question is today.
I'm sorry this is all so depressing, but I woke thinking about the Constitution.
No taxation without representation.
Unless you've been in prison.
So as to say, the best we can, is fuck you and the gravy train you road in on.

We're all exceptional today.
