100 stories

And with a minimum of fuss and an absence of fanfare, Mark Pilgrim announces 100 stories.
They are not syndicated. They are not categorized. They are not archived in reverse chronological order.

They are not memes. They are not content. They do not conform to the latest standards.

They are not comment-enabled. They are not trackback-enabled. They are not licensed under a Creative Commons license.

They are all original.

That's putting it mildly.

Live With It

Papers, please.
Come with me.
No. You may not make a phone call.
No. You may not speak to a lawyer.
You have no such rights.
Sit down.
Be quiet.

The world has changed.
Evil is abroad.
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.
We're looking out for your safety.
So live with it.
And one more thing: don't forget to wave your flag.
We're watching you.

Update: This isn't senseless whining. Really. For more information on this subject, see the excellent resources online at NOW with Bill Moyers.
