I thought they had a camera in the air in a satellite right now taking very accurate pictures of my prostate. I thought they had that kind of technology. I thought they knew everything about everybody, but it turns out they’re really no different than many other government bureaucracies, say, the Post Office or the Department of Motor Vehicles.

And I honor the man who is willing to sink
Half his present repute for the freedom to think,

Caring naught for what vengeance the mob has in store,
Let that mob be the upper ten thousand or lower.
