Hate to break it to you guys, but this advertisement is the straw that
broke the camel's back:

Microsoft is hiring a ReichsSicherheitDirektor (sorry, but that sounds
so innocuous in English, hence the German...)

Ever more powerful big business getting in bed with a government which
is ever more intrusive and ever less respectful of fundamental liberties...

France is about to soundly thrash its local neo-fascist moron...  But
I now believe that, failing a backlash in future elections, the US is
itself on the slippery slope to some kind of (hopefully mild) neo-fascism.

Don't flame me now.  Get back to me in decades to come when you are
all in denial about what happened.

Over and out.
