A brief return to politics...
I haven't put in any political commentary for a while, and I really have little to say about the federal government's new Operation TIPS program that Tom Tomorrow hasn't already said better, so go pay his site a visit.
I will say this: I predict that some 90% of their calls will be bogus tips from truckers or truckers' spouses/partners who are angry at their other half for cheating on them while one of them is on the road. Nine of the remaining ten percent will be needlessly alarmist calls about some very mild case of constitutionally-protected dissent.
The upshot being that more than anything this program will waste taxpayer money while creating a needlessly intrusive and ill-foreboding system of citizen informants.
Who needs that? Definitely not me.
