We forgot about this.... this LA crap reminded me that really the reason we don't see ourselves in the future visions we've seen (I keep thinking of Pryor & his Logan's Run joke) is that perhaps the goal truly is to have us halo-ed up a la Minority Report - conspicuously missing in the bowels of the "correctional" system. Am I just tripping? Is self defense even an/the answer? Is there some other avenue for us if we can't protect ourselves? Is there a possibility of our government wilin' and deciding they can lock any and everybody up that "fits the profile" - whatever the profile flava du jour is?
