BIG BROTHER IS INFRINGING - MORE AND MORE - AND MORE!

WHAT ARE YOU - DOING ABOUT IT/




Poem Artwork




I OBJECT !

© - Tom Hyland - 05-09-09


TO: All those Cameras at Intersections -
Invasion of Privacy!
Taking away our Rights!
Assumed Guilt - without Trial!

Seventy-Five Dollar Fine - but - No Points!
Why? So People, the Public, will not Object!
Ease of Payment - just Mail your Check -
Has anyone ever Questioned their Accuracy?

They are neither a deterrent to Speeding,
Nor an attempt to prevent Accidents!
Just another Government Ploy to Collect Money!
Screw John Q.!

More and more and more of these Cameras
Are popping up, faster and faster,
At almost every major Roadway -
City, County, and State Coffers are Growing!

When they First came out, a few years Ago -
The First one I received - I Appealed -
Went to traffic Court and Won!
But still Charged Twenty-Five Dollars - Court Costs!

“They” still Win!
But - is not Saving Fifty Dollars Worth it?
I Paid It - But - didn’t Like it!
Did I Authorize Taking My Picture?

I OBJECT!

Do you Sustain my Objection?

TO: All those Speed Bumps!
More and more and more of these Suckers
Are Springing up in almost every Housing Development!
They are a Danger to your Car, and Not a Deterrent!

I wrote about this phenomenon Before -
See - Humps - Bumps - and Thumps!
Hit the Brakes - Slow Down -
Hit the Gas - Speed Up!

Didn’t See it? Ker-Plunk!
Your Shocks - Suspension - Under-Carriage -
Catalytic Converter - Muffler - BAM!
Why? To Use up Money in the Transportation Budget?

To provide more money to Auto Repair Shops?
Bend Over - John Q. -
For it is You -
That We Must Screw!

I OBJECT!

Sustained?


TO: The Newest Machine Wonders -
All those Rectangular Boxes on Poles -
That Flash What Speed you are Doing!
I Knew what would be Next!

Recently heard on the News That -
Soon These would Start Taking Pictures -
And Mail you a Ticket!
Need some Vaseline Yet?

I OBJECT!

How Is Your Testosterone Level?

Objecting to the, as far as govt is concerned, unobjectionable can get you to really using KY in lockup...just don't bend over for the dropped soap in the shower...e
