Ahh! They're coming! But in a nonspecific, unsubstantiated way...

Check out Mark Fiore's cartoon, Minister of Fear, in The Village Voice.

My favorite line:

"We might have to disrupt the democratic process because terrorists want to disrupt the democratic process"

Private Conservation

Waldo Wilcox sold the nearly untouched ruins of an ancient civilization in Utah to the government in 2002. He's had it since 1951.

Banning Bathtubs

According to the LA Times (June 30 pg B11), on average 200,000 people are treated in emergency rooms each year for bathtub injuries (snicker). They point out that this number is twenty times more than those treated for injuries due to mishandling of fireworks.

So, clearly, we should ban all bathtub recreation and settle instead for sponge baths. That'd be safer (and possibly much more fun).

The FCC in my Cell Phone

On a related note...

I just got a new cell phone and it's so damn complicated that i have to actually read the manual. Towards the end there's a bit on the federal guidelines to which the phone's usage is subject. It states that profanity and indecent language are prohibited due to FCC regulations. I'm assuming it's because my signal is being broadcast over public airspace like tv signals. Does it follow that i can't type profanity if i'm using a pager or wifi? These signals are broadcast over the air, too. And why, since it's private and most even have scramblers, do FCC rules apply anyway? The public does not have access to it.

Many people i know are switching over to cell phones entirely and ditching landline service. Will all phone conversation of the future be regulated?
