Land of the (Sort of) Free

New York City to Establish Surveillance Network in Midtown - NYTimes.com: "Asked Sunday about criticism of the increased surveillance, Mr. Bloomberg said: “We live in a world where we have to have a balance. We can’t just say everybody can go everyplace and do anything they want.”"

The SyFy (are they serious with that spelling?) movie almost writes itself: A genetic experiment gone wrong, one or two scientists (played by photogenic B-list actors) desperately trying to convince the skeptical local law enforcement officer: "Ya gotta believe us, these raccoons, they'll tear a man's face off and eat him for dinner!" One or two scenes of such things happening to the local oddball character or the guy who lives alone at the lake. Finally the discovery that the raccoons are afraid of...fire, and a subsequent conflagation.

There! I feel as if I've seen the movie already--which I have, except it was called "Mansquito."

Sorry--I posted this comment in the wrong place. I've reposted it in the raccoon story.
