    If I spend all my time watching your drone, and my drone gets irritated at your drone, they can fight it out and I’ll go drink beer.

    Rat is a typical politician — droning on and on.

    Most politicos buy as many of the drones as they can BEFORE the election. That’s usually how they get to BE politicos.

    It is the responsibility of every citizen in our Utopian Society to be the police informant for every other. But we do not arm our drones. Only the trusted police will be armed, and are to be called in for a tactical strike when somebody speaks ill of the Glorious Leadership or does something that would displease them.What could possibly go wrong?

    Gun control means being able to hit your own drone.

    CCTV, drones, NSA spying, then we see who the Government wants to eliminate; not bombs, but illegal lawsuits on specific groups, IRS targeting certain groups, EPA denying access to funds/research to certain groups, DoJ only prosecuting certain groups, taking money from one good and putting it into a social engineering plan and lying to taxpayers about it…..

    Obviously, this is fiction. Rat won’t be 35 years old in 2016, which is Constitutionally the minimum age for the President.

    There are, by maybe 0.1% to 1% more or so. But that’s the 0.1% that controls these things for the rest of us, is it not?

    Hey! You pinched my plan without crediting me! Actually your version is somewhat different so OK. I have determined that the earth can only handle 1 billion humans so 6 billion must go. Terrorists, rapists and such are easy but I’m afraid that 6th billion might mean “deleting” people with noisy vehicles and people who annoy me in traffic. Of course I’d control who goes and who stays.

    Also, isn’t that an inexact number, and if it was exact, how would he keep an eye on the people who work in the white house? And he would have to do 6,999,999,999 drones, because of himself.
