| Message | "No. The goverment has to keep their eye on something like the national power grids. To make sure no spies are involved in destroying us." Oh yeah, I forgot that only the government is capable of protecting our grids. What was I thinking, the government NEVER bungles anything or makes mistakes, Unlike those ruffian, unshaven looking private companie folks who have no reason to protect their own grids or lines...why would they care???>>>. |
