J: Kory Heath visited us this week, woo hoo! We had a great time playtesting, chatting with old friends, and making Kory listen to Jonathan Coulton songs.

J: HSPD-12 is an executive order to re-badge all federal employees and government contractors, after performing extensive security clearance investigations. I must sign documents releasing my medical and financial records. If I don't sign, I lose my job. Signing allows me to keep my job, but I don't get a security clearance. The documents allege that my signature is voluntary, but this is not true. If I sign, it will be under protest and duress. I have a couple weeks to decide. If you want extra details check out this article, titled My Problems with HSPD-12.

Here is a short satirical play describing how I feel lately.

SCENE: A dark alley leading to my uncertain future. The PRESIDENT stands in front of me, flanked by two Homeland Security AGENTS. The agents look identical (balding, white, dark suits and dark glasses). The President appears to be somewhat intoxicated.

AGENT 1: Give us your wallet, or we'll punch you in the face.

ME: Wha...?!

AGENT 2: It's for your own good. Listen to your president.

PRESIDENT: The terrorists hate our freedom. Nucyuler weapons. With us or against us.

AGENT 1: You have 12 seconds to decide. Your compliance is totally voluntary.
