Regarding some silly arrests on Dame Street, recently, I had thought it was out of the ordinary. Read the roll call of arrests, overall, however, and you see some silly reasons, indeed. No wonder the real demand it creates for information shows us something of a reason for why it ought need be 'newly' demanding - it would never take place openly and accountably!
But, right in front of your eyes, happening, you think you know something of what power we entrust to mere mortals to call justice: - and, then, next moment, your faith in all humanity is threatenable, as you loose sight of hope in state ever carrying that power further, if your own opinion might have anything to do with it...
The first world war was never imagined to be the first, ever; but, only the first the human species experienced as recorded on television. War was never counted before then. And, the widescreen wars neither needing, now, numbers, but only 'moods' as their fashion might, amply dictate.
In terms of mindset, though, desert landscape is to civilised urbanum what difference -to the latter- the virtual realm, need ought have it be, to have us think it be different, sufficiently, to count as necessarily so different.
Similarly, we never counted arrests before now. It was always entrusted in their power, as an ignorance we could yet afford to suppress the demand for as information on state. But, like war can change its colours to change seemingly its causes too, we cannot know how much longer we might be satisfied with this seeming new transparency.
