Is there a secret policeman in the house?

Hundreds of police, firefighters, paramedics and even utility workers have been trained and recently dispatched as "Terrorism Liaison Officers" in Colorado and a handful of other states to hunt for "suspicious activity" - and are reporting their findings into secret government databases.

We dedicate this Independence Day to George Orwell. Now move along citizen, nothing to see here.

I am celebrating my dependence by co-existing within society and realizing that nothing I have ever done seemed to make the least noticeable difference. So I am trying to learn to relax and not let stuff matter so much. After we're gone, someone else will come along and repeat the experiment anyway.

Andy - I beg to differ. Human relations are as complex, if not more, than the weather. If the fluttering of a butterfly's wings in some remote South Pacific island can change the weather in London, then every life you have touched and every life they have touched, ad infinitum ... You have made both noticeable and meaningful differences in the 'experiment'. I feel your touch every day in ways subtle and often unconscious, but it is there.

Why, that may be the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a long time. It ranks right up there with "I love you" and "When can you start work?" Thank you, John. Give your kids a hug for me.
