As requested by someone on the http://live.lordkat.com/ (Yep I be plugging on his site! What now!) he or she wanted me to do the story of Eros (Cupid for you Latin folks) and Psyche. However, I need to separate this in two or even three parts. This is a story about love, loss, and reunion, so this is kind of a unique epic of a woman trying to get her lover back when it is usually the other way around.
God I love Latin, too bad I forgot how to translate it!
Before I begin with this story, let's look at the background of it. The story comes from The Metamorphosis of Apuleius, but folks better read in Roman mythology would know it from the name St. Augustine gave it, The Golden Ass. (Ass as in donkey not buttocks) The story of Cupid and Psyche is located in book 4 where an elderly woman tells the story to a bunch of captives of bandits. Now that we have the background info, let us begin. (For this story I'm using the Roman names, but will be sure to write down the character's Greek names to help avoid confusion)
Bitch is as beautiful as me! That chick has got to suffer!
Our story begins with what else? Petty jealousy of mortals from a being who is eternally youthful and immortal. The goddess of all things beautiful and lustful Venus (Aphrodite) became jealous that a mere mortal woman, Psyche, was as beautiful as her. She devised a cruel plan, she had her son Cupid (Yeah in this myth, Eros is Aphrodite's son and not the primordial deity that we saw two blogs ago) to go into Psyche's room as she was sleeping and scratch his arrow of love onto her. When she would wake up from discomfort the first thing she would see she would fall madly in love with and what Venus wanted her to see was some vile creature.
Yep she totally deserves that fate Venus, it will in no way make you look a jealous bitch
After a long debate, Cupid agreed to go with his mother's plan and made his way to the house where Psyche lived in. He flew into her room totally invisible and slowly made his way to sleeping Psyche, who even in sleep looked absolutely breathtaking. Cupid readied his golden love arrow, prepared to ruin this woman's life forever, but something happened.
While leaning over Psyche to scratch her shoulder with his arrow, she suddenly awoke and stared right into the eyes of the invisible Cupid. The youthful god of love was startled, but was immediately in love with the beautiful girl. Thus he took the arrow and scratched himself while looking at Psyche, thus he became forever in love with her. He couldn't finish his mission, for every second he looked upon her, he found her more and more appealing. Needless to say, Venus was not going to be happy about this.
When Cupid reported back to his mother, Venus was enraged as all hell. Because of his actions, Venus places a curse on poor Psyche that would prevent her from ever meeting a suitable husband, or any husband at all for that matter. (Yeah in Ancient Roman and Greek society, it was kind of VERY important for a woman to find a husband and have kids) Because she did this, Cupid got upset and decided to rebel against his own mother by not doing his duty of shooting love arrows into things in order to cause the temple of Venus to fall.
After months of nothing falling in love and having sex, the Earth began to grow old, which began to worry Venus because nobody was praising her for Cupid's actions. (Yeah Venus had a BIG ego if you can't tell) Because of this, Venus caved into Cupid's demands and allowed Cupid to have one thing go his way, this of course turned out to be he wants Psyche. Though very upset, Venus accepted his demand on the condition that he got to work immediately.
When love returned to Earth, all continued to admire and praise Psyche's beauty, but no man desired to marry her because of the curse that Venus placed on her. Worried about this, Psyche's parents went over to the oracle and asked about what they had to do with their daughter. The oracle told them that they had to leave their daughter on the nearest mountain because her beauty was not meant for mortal man.
Terrified, the parent's had no choice but to heed the oracle's advice and had sent Psyche to the nearest mountain. Once she stood at the top of this mountain, the West Wind (Zephyrus) whisked her away
Cupid would visit her every night to sleep with her, but demanded her to never light up the lamps, since he didn't want her to know who he was until the time was right. Yep your husband is a giant serpent
How did I not notice those wings?
Psyche sadly followed their advice. In the light of the lamp Psyche recognized the fair form on the bed as the god Cupid himself. However, she accidentally pricked herself with one of his arrows, and is consumed with desire for her husband. She tried to kiss him, but as she did, a drop of oil fell from her lamp onto Cupid's shoulder and woke him. She watched him fly away, and she fell from the window to the ground, sick at heart. (And probably a really bad bruise from that fall)
Now as we end this part of this story, but I must finish this with the fate of Psyche's bitchy sisters.
I'm coming for you Cupid!
Psyche then found herself in the city

First, I just want to acknowledge the soldiers that have responded to the blog and let them know that our prayers are with them and we all appreciate what they are doing in all parts of the world.
It's pretty cool to have the blog and the Internet. I guess I kind of make myself sound old, but I'm still amazed by the Internet sometimes and the fact that people can check out my blog from places like Japan and then respond to it. But anyway, just wanted to let them know that I read their responses and I appreciate their support and definitely know that we're behind them.
Right now it's probably going to be a rocky blog because I'm extremely tired. We had quite a last couple hours. We played the game in San Francisco and were able to win, which is always good, and did some promising things, and we left from there to the airport and got back to Denver at about 1:30, and I got back to my house around 2:30.
Then I unpacked my suitcase and repacked it for the next day's trip, and now I'm here doing the blog at about 9-ish, because we have meetings coming up at 11, and from there we're going to head to Dallas for a week and play them this coming Saturday.
So I think everybody in the organization is probably working off four hours of sleep or less. Some I've heard this morning have not gone to sleep at all. I think most of the players were able to get home and get about four or five hours, depending on what they had to do. So it's going to be a rough one, but I guess we'll get a lot of sleep on the plane.
This trip should be good for our team, especially for our offense to get to work against a 3-4 (defense) for the week and we get to go against another offense that runs the ball pretty well and has a talented quarterback and some pretty good receivers. So it's a good measuring stick. It's more fun than going up against ourselves.
And hopefully when we're down in Dallas, which is pretty close to where D-Will is from, hopefully we'll be able to see his mom and some of his family. I hope it's not too soon, but I'm looking forward to that opportunity just as much as practicing against the Cowboys.
Speaking of D-Will, it was definitely kind of hard since it was our first game back, just being in the locker room and normally sitting next to him and talking to him and warming up, playing catch in the pregame, all those things were a little more difficult because it's the first time since the last game that we had, and he's not there. So it's kind of tough.
I guess there's no good transition from that into anything else, so we'll just go to a little more lighthearted subject.
I really enjoy travel days around here, not so much because of the travel but because everybody gets dressed up and you really get to see everybody's personality. Hamza (Abdullah) and I and some of the other defensive backs and people on the team in general really enjoy watching people try to get as fly as they possibly can. Some people do a good job and some people fall short, so we just have a good time making fun of everybody, as you guys know who read the blog regularly, that's one of the things we enjoy is just picking on each other. It's a lot of fun and most people don't get too sensitive. Some people get their feelings hurt so those people are the most fun to pick on.
So we had a good time laughing at a lot of the outfits of people trying too hard for the trip, and we have another travel day today, so I'm looking forward to that also. Should be another day full of laughs.
I think one of the people who read the blog asked what do people make fun of me about. I try not to give them too much ammunition, but especially Hamza, he's a pretty funny guy, he'll find something to make fun of all the time. So a lot of times he'll get me for having dry skin or not putting lotion on, being ashy, or needing a haircut, something like that. I guess those things are pretty easy to take care of, I just got to put some lotion on my legs and go to a barber shop regularly and I can get him off my back.
But it's fun, because I can get back on Hamza because he has braces, or his hairline is kind of moon walking. I think I'm going to get in trouble for this, I'm sure someone will point this out to him and he'll be mad, but oh well. It's all in good fun.
Last week, before we headed out to San Francisco, we finished up camp and the last day of camp was a lot of fun to have the fans out there. They were really enthusiastic, and we were really excited also because we're always happy when camp is over. I guess technically it's not over because we're going to have two-a-days in Dallas.
But anyway, last week was the fictional ending of camp. This year it's been more of a ceremonial ending than an actual ending. But either way, any time camp draws to a close we're excited.
Some of the highlights from last week in camp: One of the things I really enjoy is we spend a lot together and we spend a lot of time making fun of each other and joking around and having fun, but I actually stumbled into a pretty serious conversation in the locker room. Which is cool to get other people's perspectives and one thing about the NFL is people come from many different walks of life and all over the country and you get so many different perspectives, it opens your eyes.
And we had a really good conversation that started about different cultures and moved on to race in America and the progress that we have and haven't made in the country, and from there I don't know how we got from race to children, but I didn't have many tidbits to add to that, I was just taking notes because we have some really great fathers on this team.
One of the people I really enjoy listening to was Adam Meadows, and I really didn't get the chance to know him much last year, but having the opportunity to sit down to talk to him last week, I gained a whole different respect for him. And Jeff Shoate talked about how he was raising his son, and Rod (Smith) always has a bunch of great tidbits. I'm sure that's no surprise to anybody who's a Broncos fan and knows that Rod is always willing to share his advice with anybody and share his time.
So we just had a great time talking about those things and then we moved on into politics, which I had some things to say about that. The state of politics today is a little upsetting to me, but you still got to vote because if you don't vote then I guess you don't really count. But political parties have run so much together it's a little hard to differentiate, but this coming election should be interesting to see where this country goes.
But this is getting really boring now. Let's get back to football, which is why most people log on. Everybody logs on to the blog for football talk.
So there were some really encouraging things in the game, and defensively we still have some things to work on. But one of the most encouraging things was we had things to work on, but we still held the 49ers to 13 points. Even without the first unit in there our second unit played well against their first unit. Throughout the game our third unit played well, I think everybody defensively played well when it mattered. They moved the ball but they didn't score many points. We held them to a bunch of field goals and even had some red zone interceptions which can demoralize a team.
It was really good to see Hamza get an interception. He had another great interception last year in preseason. He's had some great ones. Last year it was a diving one against Tennessee and this year he had an interception that pretty much took points off the board and allowed us to have that win. And Steve Cargile had a great interception in the end zone, which you can't say enough about interceptions in the end zone. That's another taking points off the board type of thing, which pretty much guarantees a win if you can take two scoring opportunities away from an offense.
I think as a defensive player we were really encouraged by what we saw from the first-team offense. Just the way Travis (Henry) was running and breaking tackles and moving the ball, Jay (Cutler) consistently making good decisions. Which none of us are surprised by Travis or Jay's play because we see it every day and we like to think that we're the best defense that they're going to go against all year so if they can do things against us then it should be easy come Sunday.
But I would like to see Jay slide. I understand you get close to the end zone and you get a little excited, but it is the preseason. And we all want to win, and even if it's not the preseason, get down and let Travis bang into the end zone or something and tuck the ball.
I'm sure all the coaches have their own tidbits for Jay. I would never say anything to him because I'm not an offensive coach, but maybe he reads the blog just like you guys and maybe next time he'll slide and tuck the ball nice and tight.
So we're headed to spend the week in Dallas. The opportunity to practice against some talented veteran receivers like T.O. (Terrell Owens) and Terry Glenn should be good experience for our corners. T.O. is a great player and no matter what people think about his off-the-field antics, the few times I've met him he seemed like a good guy. I look forward to that opportunity.
Terry Glenn has been around this league a long time. He's had a lot less hype, but he's a talented player. I think he's a little nicked up right now, but it's all going to be good for our defense. I think they have a pretty good offensive line which will be a great test for our new defensive linemen and our new scheme to be able to be tough against the run.
I read all the responses this week as I do every week, and we broke last week's all-time blog response record, which is encouraging. It makes you feel like more and more people are reading, which is good motivation for me to get up a little earlier and sit down and knock this blog out.
I'm sorry I can't respond to everybody, especially people who write in and ask for a shout-out. I mean, if you ask a good question or have a good story, then I can respond to it. But if you're blog response is just, "Can you say my name?" I can't fulfill that in the blog.
And people who asked to see pictures of Cash, my dog, who I introduced you guys to last week, I think he's a little camera-shy. I'll work on that for the future.
And I had some people ask questions about the hockey team. It's not us the players playing hockey, it's a lot of the support staff, the equipment guys and the people who work upstairs at the Denver Broncos facility and the people who work down at Dove Valley, they've put together a hockey team that I try to support. I talked about it in some earlier blogs, but for the new people just joining us, when I talk about the Broncos hockey team, I'm not talking about us putting on skates and playing hockey.
I'm talking about the Broncos employees who are not football players or coaches who play hockey. They ended up having a really good season, especially in comparison to last year's no wins. They had a lot more wins this year.
But now our season is starting to get in the swing, so a lot of them are going to Dallas with us this week and are going to miss their playoff game, so their season comes to an end, unfortunately, because they have other engagements. But it was a great season. It was really productive and a great improvement. I enjoyed going to the games, and now I hope they enjoy coming to my games. It's time for us to focus on Broncos football and not Broncos hockey.
Thanks again everybody for reading, see you next Tuesday.

This a great addition to my workbench. It holds the guitar very securely and is a great help when doing setups and intonations! Thanks Stew-Mac!
This item is a great helper for the quick setup on the fly.
Working with safety and convenience, my customers love.
What a clever, simple solution to variables between body heights and necks. It just 'rolls' into position - nice and stable ... for whatever desired work. `doesn't scratch the neck, either; if in doubt, drop soft cloth, like a T-shirt on it. Kudos to the clever fellow who dreamt this up! G>
I put up a review earlier, and just thought I'd show the completed on with french polish and rubber grip
Simple and effective. Makes it a breeze to work on your guitar on a stable platform.
This headrest is one of the smartest tools ever. It's stable, rocks to the perfect height for most any guitar and guitars rest perfectly on it and the cork is gentle, yet durable. I personally stained the wood just to polish up the looks of it and I simply love this item even more. Must buy for any luthier
Works great. Stable. Simple.
I've tried a few other tools for this job, and short of a larger guitar vice this tool is great. Very good neck support, not too heavy, and the cork lining protects the finish. I imagine this will be a durable tool and doubt I'll ruin or ever wear it out. Great one time investment.
They really help out when doing basic maintenance. They're the perfect height for resting the guitar on the bench to do fret levels and such. They are a little pricey, but you pay for what you get.

In most cases, Dalton Adkins' 328 yards and four touchdowns would be quite impressive.
In most circumstances, Adkins would be a quarterback's top target.
At most schools, the Jeffersonville junior would be the star of the team.
As it stands now, Adkins' is quarterback Tyler Fridley's fourth or fifth option in an offense with no shortage of weapons.
"He's a huge part of our offense," Fridley said. "He's a huge target for us. He catches almost everything. He's always open and he doesn't drop the ball."
With Ricky Embry (804 yards and 11 touchdowns), Jacquari Chandler (784 and 10), Dionte Allen (676, 9) and Austin Hines (1,443 combined yards and 21 scores) getting most of the headlines, Adkins is often ignored by the press, and more importantly, opposing defenses.
"That's why he's the forgotten guy," Red Devils coach Lonnie Oldham said. "But he's really not forgotten."
Oldham hopes when Jeff takes on unbeaten and third-ranked Castle on Friday, the Knights' defense forgets about his second tight end. If it does, Oldham said, he'll make them pay like he has defenses throughout the season.
"We hope people forget about him and often they do and he winds up making big plays," Oldham said. "He turns an average catch to a 50-, 60-yard run. He's got deceptive speed. When he catches the ball, [defenses] have a hard time catching him. He fits our puzzle real nice."
The truth is, Adkins doesn't care about headlines and accolades.
"I'm happy with the way things are," Adkins said. "I'm more of a team player than an individual-type player."'
A lot of players say that. By all indications, Adkins means it — and it shows in his blocking. Oldham said Adkins is one of the teams best blockers, often springing Hines on the edge.
"He makes the extra blocks," Oldham said. "He doesn't mind if he's catching or blocking. He's happy to block if it means opening a hole."
Despite splitting time between the offense and the defense, Adkins is seventh on the team with 25 solo tackles and 33 total. He also has three tackles for loss and a team-best 6.5 sacks and eight quarterback hurries.
"He's a really good high school football player," Oldham said. "I'm glad he's on our team."
Adkins was hobbled in Friday's 37-27 Sectional 8 semifinal win over Evansville North. He sat out of Monday's practice with a sore ankle, but he's confident he'll play on Friday.
"I'll definitely be out there Friday," he said.
No doubt? "That's a definite. No doubt about it."
Fridley hopes so. If the Devils are going to beat Castle on Friday, a healthy Adkins is a must.
"He'll be a huge part of our game plan, both offensively and defensively," Fridley said.

The room, a single Queen bed, was relatively small but acceptable. The bathroom is a good size, but mind the step in and out of the shower. I didn't try the breakfast because it seems overpriced. There are restaurant options galore within a short drive of the hotel. The internet is free up to 20MB per day, otherwise there are several options available for pay. My only warning about the internet is if you end up paying for an internet access package through the third-party provider GConnect to ACTUALLY WRITE DOWN the voucher number needed to log on to the internet after your purchase. The email confirmation you receive after purchasing doesn't contain the voucher number, and if you are inactive after a certain period of time the system boots you off, causing you to have to re-enter your voucher number to re-access the internet. I had to call GConnect to retrieve my voucher number after having neglected to write it down (not a big deal, but it was 15 minutes I could've spent doing something else). Otherwise, a good stay!
"Overnight stays prior to long airline flights."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 8, 2013
This was a nice hotel on the outskirts of JHB. It was quiet, clean and very comfortable with good food. It would have been nice to know that the anticipated cab fare from the airport was around $70 each way but the quiet was worth it.
"Claires of Sandton: luxury guest-house?"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 7, 2013
Yes, it's very luxurious and the service was superb! Nice pool, HDTV, WiFi, lovely gardens, upgraded rooms, and best made-to-order breakfast I've ever had in a B&B! Claire and her staff are very helpful, went beyond call-of-duty, just a 15 min walk to Pick-N-Pay huge supermarket with take-away foods and also full-service restaurant. I'll bring my wife along next time, she'll just love this place!!
"The Regent Standard"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 1, 2013
Fantastic Staff. Really Attentive. The food at the cantine was amazing. I especially liked their soups and fruits juice blends. You get what you pay for with the Regent, fantastic panoramic views of a beautiful city. You get standard five star hotel service, with a niche, tranquil atmosphere. It's in a really safe neighbourhood with excellent security features. facilities were great! I would definitely consider staying there for a longer period of time the next time I am in Johannesburg. Reception staff are very warm, friendly and sensitive to client needs.Cleaning staff are also really efficient and nice.
"nice hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 29, 2013
Rooms were good for the price. Only no 24hrroom service. But overall was good
"Surprisingly good food, convenient location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 29, 2013
Great breakfast buffet with good variety, all areas of hotel very clean and room nicely arranged. Sign up for the hotel card and get free internet. Quick shuttle to the Gautrain and shopping mall or just a quick walk to the grocery store next door. The gym door was jammed shut one morning so everyone got an extra workout to open it but was fixed immediately afterwards. The gym is located next to the ironing board room if you prefer your exercise that way.

Michigan senator proposes ban on owning monkeys
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - New legislation in Lansing would ban private ownership of monkeys, apes and lemurs.
Sen. Rick Jones said this week that the average person doesn't have the necessary training or equipment to properly care for nonhuman primates. The Grand Ledge Republican's bill would apply going forward and allow current owners to keep their pets.
Jones cites a 2009 incident when a Connecticut woman was mauled and disfigured by her chimpanzee.
He says apes aren't companion animals and have no place in private residences. Jones also says diseases such as monkey pox and measles can be more easily transferred between humans and the animals.
The bill has been referred to the Senate Agriculture Committee.

April 24, 2007 - United States Attorney Patrick L. Meehan and Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham today announced the filing of a one-count indictment* charging that Jamal Washington, on November 25, 2006, was a convicted felon who possessed a firearm in Philadelphia after having been convicted of a crime punishable by more than one year in prison.
AGE [Date of Birth] |
Jamal Washington |
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
34 |
If convicted the defendant faces a statutory maximum sentence of ten years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, three years supervised release, and a $100 special assessment.
This case was investigated by the Philadelphia Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a federal initiative designed to identify and prosecute firearms offenders in federal court, where the defendant is likely to receive a substantial sentence upon conviction. The case has been assigned to Special Assistant United States Attorney William L. Inden.

The last check that Marilyn Monroe signed, and possibly the last signature that she gave, will be featured in Heritage Auctions' Entertainment & Music Memorabilia auction on July 24 commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Monroe's death. Dated Aug. 4, 1962, the day before her death, the $228.80 check was used for the purchase of a white chest of
drawers from Pilgrim's Furniture. It is estimated at over $10,000. Also to be auctioned is a signed photo given to an L.A. police officer who let the star go without a speeding ticket with the stipulation that she send him an autographed photo. The photo has an estimated worth of at least $8,000 but will likely be sold for "considerably more," according to the auction house, which has 15 lots commemorating her fame.

The number of deaths on the roads this spring fell sharply, provisional Government figures showed.
A total of 400 people were killed in reported road accidents in Britain in the period April-June - an 18% reduction on the figure of 487 in the same period last year.
The number of serious and slight injuries on the roads also decreased, with the Department for Transport saying the extreme wet weather might have led to the lower figures.

DreamWorks Animation is known for pushing technology boundaries to tell a great story. But, until recently, the same couldn't be said for its administrative office.
Manual administrative processes – specifically its contract management process in DreamWorks' Consumer Products division – impacted employee productivity, consumed resources and caused delays, affecting its production arm.
To change all that, DreamWorks enlisted Hyland Software and HP, an Authorized OnBase provider, to streamline its contract management process with a smart and strategic enterprise content management (ECM) solution.
The new OnBase solution for DreamWorks captures electronic and paper-based documents, integrates them into front- or back-end business applications, then automates workflows and enables instant access to data stored in a centrally managed repository.
"Everything is [now in] one place," says Sarah Kaleel, information technology project manager. "Anyone can pull it at any time and it won't conflict with other people looking for the same information. And it's much more granular and secure."
By implementing OnBase, arts and entertainment companies:
OnBase enables distributors to meet the needs of each department – including Accounting and Finance, Human Resources and Legal – with one easily supported application, letting them start with a single department or solution and expand as time, goals and budget permit.
Promote faster processing, better decision-making and allow departments to share information
Allow staff to instantly access employee documents and information
Optimize contract management by streamlining every step of the process

The Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) was established to solve critical industry issues through research and extension activities. SCRI will give priority to projects that are multistate, multi-institutional, or trans-disciplinary; and include explicit mechanisms to communicate results to producers and the public. Projects must address at least one of five focus areas: research in plant breeding, genetics, and genomics to improve crop characteristics; efforts to identify and address threats from pests and diseases, including threats to specialty crop pollinators; efforts to improve production efficiency, productivity, and profitability over the long term; new innovations and technology, including improved mechanization and technologies that delay or inhibit ripening; and methods to prevent, detect, monitor, control, and respond to potential food safety hazards in the production and processing of specialty crops.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (AP) - At first, the rescuers couldn't believe their ears: After four days of grueling searching, they suddenly heard a faint female voice calling for help.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Starting this weekend, control towers at scores of small airports are to begin shutting down because of government-wide automatic spending cuts. But federal officials insist the closures won't compromise safety, and there's evidence that some of the closures may even make economic sense.
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a scathing rebuke of the Obama administration, a federal judge ruled Friday that age restrictions on over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill are "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable" and must end within 30 days.
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. employers added just 88,000 jobs in March, the fewest in nine months and a sharp retreat after a period of strong hiring. The slowdown may signal that the economy is heading into a weak spring.
MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) - With its new "Home" on Android gadgets, Facebook is trying to prove that a company doesn't have to make a smartphone or operating system to define how people interact with mobile technology. The audacious move will provide further insights into how pervasive Facebook has become, testing whether people want to be greeted with content from the social network every time they look at their phones.
NEW YORK (AP) - More than half a million U.S. children are now believed to have lead poisoning, roughly twice the previous high estimate, health officials reported Thursday.

Tyranny/Police State

The Thin Line Between Service and Threat
Jeffrey Tucker
It was 2:00am and I was sound asleep when the doorbell rang. I thought I had dreamed it. But then it was followed by a knock and another ring. So I got up and went to the door.
Standing there were two policemen decked out in all their contemporary regalia: jack boots, bullet-proof vests, heavy arms, clubs, tasers, and so on. One put a flashlight on my face. I was confused and alarmed, obviously. They explained that there was truck parked in front of my house, with license tags that were not from my neighborhood. Did I know anything about this truck, one �asked?
I explained that this belonged to a friend, who had gotten off work late and asked to crash at my house. No problem, I said. So, yes, I know this truck and I know its owner.
They were glad to hear it, and explained that they were asking because of a recent string of burglaries in my neighborhood. They were just checking on anything suspicious. They apologized for waking me.
At this point, I�m quite certain that 9 in 10 people would have said something like: �it�s ok, officers. I really appreciate how you are keeping us safe and keeping a look out. Thank you for the service to this community.�
Instead, I said nothing and said goodnight and closed the door.
In the days since then, I�ve thought about this little incident a number of times. It wasn�t exactly a case of abuse, tyranny, imposition, or anything like that. It felt a bit like what police work is supposed to be about, just making sure we are all safe. And yet, there was something strange about it too. This was not exactly a case of where there�s smoke, there�s fire. This was just a truck parked there, suspicious only because the tags were from elsewhere in town (and I�m not even sure I knew that tags were so easily identified).
So is it just my libertarian paranoia that causes me to feel uneasy about this incident? Well, here�s a test. If a policeman in the course of his routine does something that if you and I did it would be considered menacing, it is a problem. So here was my mental experiment. Let�s say I ventured down the street and rang someone�s doorbell at 2am, introduced myself, and asked about a truck parked in front of the house. I explained that I�ve been concerned about the safety of the community so it is natural for me to seek out answers.
I�m pretty that in this case, my neighbor would have been more than a bit annoyed. The response might have been something like: �who the eff do you think you are scoping out my house in the middle of the night? Who or what is parked at my house is none of your g-d business. Get out of here and don�t come back.�
Or maybe people would be too polite to say that but surely everyone would think it. Some might have even called the cops to report a creeper wandering around the neighborhood. I myself might have been visited by the cops to account for my actions!
And yet, we put up with this nonsense solely because of their official status. The police believe that their status confers upon them some kind of ownership over my property, my person, and the whole community. Everything that goes on there is their business.
To be sure, I�m not saying that neighborhood watch people are totally useless. But it would be nice to have some say over what they do and how they go about their job. If this were a private service, they would be serving me as a consumer and not seeking to establish their control and ownership over my life, feeling free to intrude anytime.
I�m quite certain that the police don�t see it this way. They believe they are just doing what the community wants, and maybe this indeed is what the community wants. But it is also mixed with a threat: we are watching you, always, so you had better not step out of line. The consequences for disobedience should be apparent. Look at the weapons I carry.
Sometimes there is a thin line between a service and a threat � and where one become the other is precisely when a contractual service becomes an inherently coercive one.

More than 35,000 fantastic festival-goers helped us to Pump up the volume by signing our petition at Glastonbury 2013. We can't THANK YOU enough!
Your signatures joined others from around the world to total an incredible 1.1 million people all calling for universal access to taps and toilets.
In September we presented the petition to Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Just days later UN Member States agreed to step up their efforts on providing water and sanitation to those most in need.
We're now one step closer to achieving a world where everyone, everywhere has access to safe water and sanitation. Your voices have helped make this possible.
Since we returned, our inbox has been full of great feedback from the people we met at the festival. We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who signed our petition and everyone who was so lovely to our volunteers.
We hope you enjoyed your festival experience as much as we did! We loved meeting you all and we're very proud. We can't wait to see you back at the farm in 2014, but until then you can find us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter or visit wateraid.org.
