A Bunch of Garbage

In Great Britain, the government is in charge of collecting the garbage, and they're doing a terrible job of it while treating people who leave their garbage can lids like criminalso. Typically, when government is in charge, they do a bad job, and just as typically, since they have that power, they treat people who don't obey "every regulation" like criminals. In this country, garbage collection is mainly in the hands of private enterprise (with a few exceptions) and usually gets done quietly, with little notice. But not where the government is in charge. They can't even pick it up every week there. They've recently gone to an "every-other-week" schedule, and can anybody do anything about it? No. It's "the government," you see. Oppose them and they'll give you a big fine. Do you wonder why we wanted to get out from under the "yoke" of British governance? (Common Sense)

Cops Want to ID Blogger

The chief of police in Memphis wants to know who runs a blog that has been critical if him and his department. "In what could be a landmark case of privacy and the 1st Amendment," the anonymous bloggers write on the site, "Godwin has illegally used his position and the City of Memphis as a ram to ruin the Constitution of the United States." He has a "long road" to go if he wants to force AOL to give up those names because it is a constitutional issue. "It wasn't clear if the lawsuit is aimed at shutting down the site or if it's part of an effort to stop leaks that might affect investigations." Come on! We know it was an effort to shut this blogger up. Politicians (and the police chief is certainly a politician) just don't like criticism, and some think they have the power to shut such people up. They need to be disabused of this notion. Next, he'll want to know who I am. All he has to do is ask. (Memphis Commercial Appeal)
