local law enforcement

well last
weekend

i got a notice from
my local law enforcement

asking me to log onto
their web site
and sign up
for

email alerts

humm

now i'm not
normally a
suspicious
person

but the notice
got me thinking

so i re-read it

and three times in bold
it asked me to
go
now
and
sign up!

i asked myself
why?

why the pressure?

why would i need
their services
in email
none the less??

and then it
dawned on me

there is no way
now
to connect
email addresses to
physical addresses

but if we all signed up
for these
much
needed
free
absolutely
have to have
notifications

the powers
to be
would have
that connection

peace people!!

I make up numbers for businesses and you can create a fake e-mal anytime you want. Did you call the law enforcement people? Where I live, everyone sits around and watches out their windows - old white people and if anything goes down, they send out the alert before the police even suspect.

I don't care what they can connect.

Even people that read my blogs know where I live, what my phone number is.

I don't have any problem with an Orwellian society as long as it's a wisely structured one.

Because the monkeys are really bad at governing themselves.
