beach flashmobbing, bad Santas

19/12/2005 Over the weekend "the beach", actually most of them on this coast, were surrounded by 2000 cops, who stopped cars, got on buses, demanded cell phones, read all the text messages.
Apparently anglos & Lebs were 'flashmobbing' vis sms.
So the beach,a great Aus symbol of freedom, has fallen to the state.
The rule of fear has a positive feedback, every bourgeois right that is trashed emphasises the urgency.
More rights must be promptly stripped, to sustain the mood. Privacy, security of property, assembly, even movement, gone with habeas corpus & presumption of innocence.
Time was the NSA spying on USA citizens would have caused an outcry.
Permanent crisis, swift removal of rights. The state promises to protect us, but stands for nothing. This condition must weaken the nation it claims to defend. Rumours stir. In Auckland, 'bad Santas' rampage, the Santa suit & beards worn by scores of drunk Santanarchists make id impossible. So now the power needs to strip us of our Santa suits. The structure is as weak at the foundations as a New Orleans levee

Actually texting can be hazardous. I once lent my cell phone to a 15 yr old girl, who returned it forgetting to erase her texts. Among which were arrangements for secret meetings with a tourist client, who was incensed when I texted him about his illegal assignations.

Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
.. Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
.. But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.
..On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.
.. So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: "Take a hint."
