I need a bomb

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that 80-90% of people in the USA drink caffeine every day.

I mostly cut it out of my diet a while back, and find that I sleep better and am happier since then, but I haven't been a major user since I realised it was taking three cups of coffee to get me going in the morning and quit overnight (the headache lasted about four days).

You gotta love the police

Go here.  Watch the video.  Remember it.  I am sincerely hoping that this is the event that turns the tide on the police state we're sliding into.

Thank goodness for the transparent society.  They've always been able to watch us - now we have the technology to watch them.
