A lack of thugs to enforce their rule is not generally one of the lacks that cause the collapse of police states. Indeed, most police states have more applicants than they can deal with for positions within the secret and not-so-secret police establishments.<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Clarity PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-67182961374575772392008-03-31T07:37:00.000-07:002008-03-31T07:37:00.000-07:00I feel so much better now.I feel so much better now.Lab Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306004084756258045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-84798943270487636722008-03-31T05:37:00.000-07:002008-03-31T05:37:00.000-07:00Nick is sort of right, only an omnipresent spirit ...Nick is sort of right, only an omnipresent spirit should worry about humanity. <BR/><BR/>The coming anarchy should be interesting though, does the penguin have a gun?BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-46625096052680433622008-03-31T05:05:00.000-07:002008-03-31T05:05:00.000-07:00Why does penguin care about humanity?Go swallow so...Why does penguin care about humanity?<BR/><BR/>Go swallow some more herring.FreakyNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856040368830323676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-57974774486771247382008-03-30T20:52:00.000-07:002008-03-30T20:52:00.000-07:00>doh![smacks forehead]--ml>doh!<<BR/>[smacks forehead]<BR/>--mlMartin Langelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214277415738344944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-78719853571151394142008-03-30T19:17:00.000-07:002008-03-30T19:17:00.000-07:00Ahhh , my daily snarkism .
