If the demise of OBL means anything...

[MindPilot]

I hope it means that I will soon be able to travel about my own country unmolested, that the brand of my wristwatch or size of my sunscreen bottle no longer makes me a suspect, that I will not be under constant surveillance whenever I'm out in public, that my government is no longer just an elaborate security apparatus, that I can use the Internet or a telephone without being wiretapped and that I no longer have to "watch what I say."

2. Sorry. No joy. Osama is just a symbol these days.

Yes, he's dead now. Ugly shit still goes on, though, I'm afraid. The world's a pretty scary place sometimes.

3. The Fatherland Security apparatus is a cash machine for government contractors.

We'll have to pry it out of their cold, dead hands.
