And you thought you'd be bored talking about Aunt Porcina's gout this Christmas! Police all over the country are salivating over the potential for a cheaper pain ray. Our poor municipalities can't afford the multi-million dollar, Humvee mounted version with a 6 foot radius and a range of 1/2 a mile. It's just tax payer's money anyway (more likely its debt on top of debt - so its our children's children's children's money) but they need it cheaper since the tax-base won't support the big guns. They want one they can carry around. They're thinking a radius of 100 feet should be fine.
Think of it fellow citizens?! Soon you'll have the chance to say things like, "Of course it doesn't shock my conscience... It's non-lethal." And "Yeah, but it doesn't do permanent damage and that guy was totally asking for it. He was mouthing off at a political rally."
My favorite idea in the article is the plan to mount the ray hidden inside the walls of a room. I want one in my dining room. At parties if anyone disagrees with me.... EVERYBODY PAYS - even me. ;[ That ought to keep things lively!
I hope you're as comfortable as I am with another huge step toward the end of peaceful decent. We weren't using those silly old rights anyway....
Good luck comrade citizen.
