Hey, Kids: Spying Is Fun!
The link to Alternet above concerns cartoons again, but this time it has nothing to do with the ones causing so much Islamic unrest.
Instead, what we have here is a concerted effort by the US intelliegence community to indoctrinate today's kids into the surveillance state they will experience as adults. Presumably, if a future generation perceive "Big Brother" as the norm, all activity (including dissent) will be conducted in a 'by-then' almost invisible framework. Scary stuff.
There's now a good reason to get arrested in Scotland. It seems that the only place left to light up a cigarette is the back of a police car. Or maybe law enforcement is seen as a good career move for smokers. One wonders that if the act of smoking becomes increasingly proscribed, maybe less attention will be paid to exactly which products are being smoked in the few santuaries left to for those who do.
Later.
