Q So what is Grounder Productions?
A Grounder Productions is a fictional company whose sole mission is to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States of America from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Q The Bush administration keeps warning us about "The Terrorists" and uses this threat to justify all kinds of things like spying on citizens without warrants, curtailing freedoms, etc. Didn't somebody famous once say something about fear?
A As a matter of fact, yes. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was President of the United States, had something to say about fear:
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory."
Q So what about the guy who started all of this... How many days has it been since George Bush promised to get Osama bin Laden "dead or alive?"
A bin Laden is neither dead nor in custody.
Q Hey, I see that Congress is going along with Bush and giving the Telecoms immunity for violating our fourth amendment rights by spying on us without warrants. Isn't that a bad thing?
A Oh, no. They were just following orders.
Q Wait... Isn't that something we heard during the Nuremberg Trials?
A Yes, but that was completely different. Then, we had an entire country, one of the most powerful in the world, intent on establishing global domination, and we defeated them in four years. Now, we have a couple of nutjobs who, essentially, objected to American military bases on Saudi Arabian soil. We've been fighting them -- well, not them, but other people we thought would be easier to defeat -- for five years now.
Q Enough with the politics. I have a question about someone I met on MySpace. Can you help me?
A Oh, no! For that, you have to visit Dr. CyberLove.
Q Your old e-mail address doesn't work anymore. What's up?
A I got overwhelmed by spam and became mistermeyer at gmail.com. By the way... you should get yourself a gmail account.
