Uh oh! It seems like things are going from bad to worse for our friends here at the Stanford Webcomics Experiment…

I would like to ask a question of my loyal readers here at the Stanford Webcomics Experiment. Exactly where do you fall on the political spectrum? I myself like to consider myself a moderate… moderately in favor of kicking government snoops out of my personal and financial business that is! I suppose in some measure it is my experiences dealing with the government that have colored my view of it to some extent, especially their lax enforcement of certain seemingly basic rules relating to issues of intellectual property and people who think they can get fat and happy off of the work of certain brains… my former lawyer advised me to be extremely careful about making statements in a public forum related to such topics and issues where I feel justice has not been fully done so I will not go into tooooo much detail on this (although be warned, J** D****… as soon as I can get the appeal costs together, you and your lasagna-loving little meal ticket might not think yourselves sitting quite so prettily as you right now are!)

However, as mistrustful of the government as I admit I sometimes am, I have to confess that this piece of news from the Occupying Washington DC protests has me very much over the line of being scared for my country:

In case you don’t trust hyperlinks not to steal your information, I’ll summarize that one of the left-wing protesters of the anti-individualist movement actually attempted to break into the Smithsonean Museum. The news article doesn’t seem to be able to put 2 and 2 together to make 4 (like in math: 2 + 2 = 4), but even a child could see it. What is stored in the Smithsonean Museum? Hmm… could it be the rockets used in the Apollo Program that brought American heroes Buzz Armstrong and Neil Collins to the MOON in 1966?

I have been in a few fights in my day and I know the basic rule that the higher you can get, the better the position you are in to win the fight. It is like how hawks sometimes swoop down on a target from the heights in order to get their victory meal. So put 2 and 2 together to make 4 and think very carefully about exactly what the protesters might be after in that museum and what they might be looking to occupy next… I thought about writing a letter to the newspapers and the President and the Congress to break this story, but I think in retrospect it might be a smarter idea just to sit back and watch how all of this plays out… really I am more of a lover than a fighter. 🙂

I will see you all tomorrow and May the Laughs Be With You,
