RE: The Scientist :: Frontlines | Plant Police Go Online, Sep. 22, 2003

Hi, Melody,

I know you addressed this question to Tony, but I'm putting my two cents
in <g!>. I used to work for a government agency. I learned that our
government uses the fewest people possible to accomplish the greatest
amount of work, cutting staff gradually but steadily in every office
until the few poor souls who remain employed can no longer shoulder the
workload, which does not decrease and often increases because of new
policies. The U.S. gov may single out and sorely persecute "examples"
who break the rules, but there is no way they are going to be able to
squelch the internet traffic in plants. They won't hire enough peons
("peonies"? HA!) to do the work it would take.


The war on plants is going to be about as effective as the war on drugs. . .

Tony: Do you suppose the plant police will actually be able to get a
real handle on this situation or do you think it's just wishful thinking
on their part to be able to control internet commerce that way? I can
understand why this is important...I'm just not sure it's very feasible.
