I wouldn't be too quick with that sarc tag. If the individual mandate on health insurance stands up in court, it's not a far leap at all to see the government requiring us to purchase an IP-addressed monitoring system to observe and control energy use, as well as a GPS tracker for our vehicles.
Sarcasm, satire and irony are well, oh so Twentieth Century.
You cannot satirise our upcoming dystopic reality.
As many Health and Green and other Control Freaks have claimed, both liberal and even conservative, rights and liberty are simply obstacles when they impede the public good and welfare.
RIP. We blew it, Ben.
