[wordup] Operation TIPS-TIPS

[Adam Shand]

I like this.  For those that haven't heard TIPS is the new plan where 1
in 24 (I think that's the right number) of US citizens will be employed
by the government as snitches to alert them to "possible terrorist
activity".

Neat huh?

Adam.

We just need operation TIPS-TIPS.  A network of people to spot and identify
possible TIPSters, to put up lists of their names, routes and addresses,
and possibly to put chalk marks on their vehicles, homes and even clothes
so we can spot them coming, avoid socializing with them, refuse them entry
onto our land.   Perhaps like "No Solicitors" or gates could have signs
saying "No TIPS informants"  If the power company wants to read my meter,
they should send a non-informant.
