re: #124 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

What is the lesson from history time and again? Sooner or later the existing system gets abused. Turns political, goes too far etc etc. The wrong people get in. Something goes awry. We can accept that incident within certain limits (like warrants, PC etc.) or we can let those limits fail to stop something worse. Throw in private contractors on a lot of this super high technology and system infrastructure and the potential gets pretty hairy.
