 I have had another altercation with my local NWA, Neighborhood Watch Association.

What happened is that I leave the patio door open in the condo. I do it so the stray cats can come in at night because I put food out for them (which you're not supposed to do anyway.)

So she comes marching by here. They're even starting to goose step a little. It's good exercise for the oldsters. That's why these oldsters want to become NWA members because its good exercise for them. So she comes goose-stepping over here with her orange and black NWA cap and her orange and black triangular badge. She's got the clipboard, the whistle the whole nine yards. And she starts to shut my gate, and I went out and asked her, "What are you doing?" And she says, "From now on, all gates must be closed."

And I said, "I don't see that in the bylaws of the condo board." And it's not, but she says that we the Neighborhood Watch Association are now exercising extraordinary authority over and above the local condo board, of which she's also a member. It's interesting that all the members of the NWA are also members of the condo board.

Then she looks at me and says, "Why do you have to be different? Out of two thousand condo units, you are the only person here who leaves his gate open." And I said, "Because I want the gate OPEN."

Then she reminded me that her arm badge says the same thing as our triangular street sign -- This Neighborhood Watch Association is loyal to the Office of Homeland Security. Then she says to me, "Dissent will no longer be tolerated."

The minute she said that, I did what I've done before (it's cost me $120 already in fines) - I clicked my heels together and gave her the right-handed salute up in the air. And I put my left finger over the top of my lip in an attempt to imitate the toothbrush mustache.

It made her mad as hell, and she said you're going to get another $20 fine from the condo board. She was back here in five minutes with that fine in an envelope. It's all computer-generated. The fines I had gotten before were for being disrespectful to condo board members.

But now the ticket says that I was being fined $20 for being disrespectful of citizens representing the authority of the State. The language had changed on the notice. Before they used to use condo board association fine tickets, which were rather innocuous looking. Now I'm getting a ticket that's got a blazing state eagle on it, that blue imperial eagle and it says Neighborhood Watch Association, Office of Homeland Security.

This is a different type of oppression. This is not a potential foreign power attempting to exert its will or influence over us to oppress us. This is our own government attempting to do so.

And I said to this woman, "Since when has the Neighborhood Watch Association assumed the mantle of citizens representing the authority of the State?" And she says "We've been authorized by the Office of Homeland Security to make that representation since we're now being federally funded."

Of course, I will continue pushing their buttons. It's worth the twenty bucks - just the entertainment value.

This place is a microcosm of America. There are a lot of old people with nothing to do so they get into it - because they have nothing better to do. And they love the sense of power it gives them.

As the citizen who is concerned about his own freedom and the loss of his rights and liberties, I, for one, am going to stand up and continue to push everyone's buttons, and it's worth the twenty bucks just to do it.

Now the security cart drives around every single night. The Neighborhood Watch is out now with their golf carts, with the yellow lights. I yelled out last night, "Will you turn off that light? It drives people nuts." At four o'clock in the morning, these yellow lights are flashing. And she actually says to me, "You are probably the only person awake in here at three o'clock in the morning. Don't you see that most people go to bed here at eight o'clock?"

This is the new conformity. The instant suspicion is that if you're up at three in the morning -- what are you doing? You must be up to something that's contrary to the Security of the State.

When I go out for a walk now, they do it on purpose. They come by with the carts every fifteen minutes and they shine the light on you even though they know who you are. They stop you and ask you for your resident card. I've known these people for years -- at least the ones who are still alive. And the cat's got to be on a leash now when you take your cat out at night. After all, the cat could be a "terrorist" cat.

They have these collar tags with an American flag on them and they leave a space for the cat's name as in "My (FLUFFY) is a loyal cat."

I found a place that sells anti NWA everything. I bought the little flag tag, but instead of the American flag, it's got the old Soviet hammer and sickle flagas in My (FLUFFY) is a loyal Commie -- and you should have seen the reaction. It pissed everybody off.

People used to love the cat. They'd take him out for rides in their golf carts (he loved it) but now they won't do it anymore - since they saw the tag.

As if the cat knows the difference
