Moral Covalence

the excerpted passage in this post has got to be the silliest damn thing I've read in a long time.  the President of Iran wants to know what America is doing with its flash mob problem?  totes lulz.  leaving aside the hilarious notion that our nation is about to erupt. . .lulz. . .because Congress done run oft and fucked up our credit score by. . .not paying the national car loan, or something, when the mortgage is being dropped on small children in Afghanistan.  zomg.  

America ain't going to riot any time soon, ya'll.  the flip side of that coin however, and more plausibly. . .is that America will ready itself to combat such an "uprising":

Could Camden burn? Absolutely. With a tiny force of cops who know the city, abject poverty, no industry, a non-functional school system, the only choice new police chief John] Timoney will have (and he'll like it, he's practiced in Philadelphia) is thug policing. Which never works for long. It will only take one cop, one misstep, and Camden will destroy the little that is left of it. And Philly will see the flames across the river.

and we all know what the crazy niggers`ll do once they see those flames!  where was I.  just look at how quickly America's Secret Iranian Influenced Inspired Secret Prison in Gitmo went up. . .but no, America doesn't imprison and torture people that espouse views counter to America's Official Religion. . that would be. . .heresy.  there is a degree of spontenaity and chaos with flash mobs, and to be sure, they're unbridled, kinda scary - but at least invigorating - I mean fuck, when was the last time Americans were truly scared for their lives?  every day on the streets of Philly?  come now.  that's hysterical.  histrionic even.  9-11 was a drop in the bucket for some countries we fuck up on a weekly basis.  we need more of this flash mobbery then.  I say this bitterly, of course.  I'm only half joking.  and I suppose this tells you where I'm at when I see the worried words come across the digital ink, but I fear less for my safety and those in my community's safety at the hands of the "mob" than I do for those in the mob being "handled" by Law Enforcement.  but I suppose I'm not a serious person, on a crappy blog on the internet, so this is for my own enjoyment that I write this.  

anywho, this is fucking funny:

Dear god, preserve us from the hordes of slacker youth gathering in mall food courts to sing "Da Da Diddy" while dancing on the tables. Of course, unlike Iran, we probably won't shoot them.

really what's the difference between a bunch of teens accosting you on the street and SWAT troops busting through your door (what's a SWAT raid if not a flash mob for cops?) because some judge wrote "16A" instead of "16B" on a search warrant?
