[no subject]

If a state expects to get a legitimate share of the federal tax dollars that 
it's citizens contribute to the national coffers, they better freakin get 
busy registering their gays and blacks and jews and hispanics and 
libertarians and quakers and arabs and asians with the Harmland Secretpolice 
data base.

I'm sure the states will be similarly extorted when its time for them to start 
issuing the arm bands...
