Now they can prepare to be DNA databased, as U.K. citizens have. Orwell was an optimist. I heard a new twist on it last week. Cops want a guy's DNA and don't want to bother a judge to use his search warrant rubber stamp. So they send the guy a letter which causes the guy to send a return letter. (I forget the ruse -- a prize announcement or something. The report didn't say whether it had a Police letterhead or was something more covert.) So he licks the envelope and/or stamp, drops it in the mail, and now his DNA is in the database. (Yes, it matched.) Anybody know when the term "sheeple" was coined? I first heard it last year on a talk show; maybe Limbaugh, but probably Dr. Michael Savage (who I recommend to those who think Limbaugh is extreme or offensive). USA, 06 January 1984+20
