Patriot Act Game Pokes Fun at Government

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-i-play-as-the-government dept.

The Miami Herald is reporting that a new game based on Monopoly is taking a crack at Patriot Act and what creator Michael Kabbash describes as the curtailed freedom that has resulted. From the article: "The object of the game is not to amass the most money or real estate, but to be the last player to retain civil liberties. 'I've had people complain to me that when they play, nobody wins. They say "We're all in Guantanamo and nobody has any civil liberties left," he said. 'I'm like "Yeah, that's the point."'"

    They haven't come for the Jews.
    They haven't come for the Communists.
    They haven't come for the trade unionists.
    And they haven't come for you.

    Maybe you wish that they had, so that your message would have more meaning.

    But honestly, how many people griping about Bush/Ashcroft today thought that Clinton/Reno were A-OK?

    But at least you had no doubt that Clinton had a dick. The only dick Mr W has is that trigger-happy lardbag.
