That's the line that stood out to me. If so, the threat sounds like they could turn it off or reveal everyone at once, not so much a selective attack (why announce it like that then? Certainly not if you were going to use parallel reco

That city council sure hates it when someone makes them look stupid. I like how that guy claims that children will be dramatized by crude drawings of a penis. Does he know that half of those children have a real one and aren't traumati
