How desperate is that!!

I have sat here for a couple of minutes now trying to sort down the snowstorm of reasons why this is a monumentally stupid idea into something short and snappy, suited to a comment page. I can't. It's just so far beyond bone-headed it really just beggars belief.

Come on Jaqubooti, it's all over now. Just come quietly honey. See those nice big men over there with the hypodermics. They are your friends. They'll make all the those fears go away for you, no need to imprison the entire population of the country just to know your paranoia down a notch.
