I see a way for the government to control you through taxing your
energy usage based on the time of day. Or, law enforcement seeing
your power usage and deciding that you must be doing something
illegal like growing pot in your basement. It's all about control,
I knew it when BeeHO started yapping about smart grid technology.
Control the energy supply, control access to health care, control
the flow of information (kill conservative talk radio) which will
lead to control of the citizenry which will turn them into subjects.
Hell people, just give up now!

Another FOX "news" viewer?

The article is from the New York Times. If you mean these comments, he can't
be a Fox viewer because Fox does not counsel 'giving up.' In fact the
network's motto is "Never give up! Never surrender!"

I stayed up one night and saw their "sign-off." It went something like this
(paraphrasing):

"Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts
with icy fingers. Knowing full well the horrors they faced at the hands of
300, they stare now across the plains at TEN THOUSAND Spartans commanding
THIRTY THOUSAND free Greeks! Today we rescue a world from mysticism and
tyranny and usher in future brighter than anything we can imagine!"

Or maybe it was the end of a DVD.

I forget.
