We are not parts of a machine, we are human beings. They are trying to cram our lives into smaller and smaller spaces. What are we gonna do Steve? Fate, man what if some big rich guy bought America's Whole Police force and said "Now you have to all wear pink womans panties as your uniform. Have to. No exceptions. Wouldn't you get mad if they didn't listen to you and only saw the disorder and people not standing on the right spot and potential arrests?
