A part played by a bearded bruce character in The Holy Grail:

"See the violence inherent in the system?! HEWLP HELP They're oppressing me!"


IF you were able to see the origins of this TSA memo you would undoubtedly find a mid management beaurocrat who is probably a political appointee hold over who had a sad brainstorm one day and decided to inflict it upon people in the name of security. You know, someone like bearded bruce.

These mid level beaurocrats do such things as advise federal employees against having a small portrait of Obama in any cubicle office because it would be an inflammatory act that would upset the workplace. Meanwhile this guy had pictures of Bush in his office for 8 years. (true story)


Every single time I hear the cry that big goverment is killing American freedom I see corporate powered interests behind it all. In this case it is the net neutrality struggle in which big Corporations hope to give all the big internet arteries to themselves and the little private interloper on the web gets the semi blocked capillaries.
