'Black boxes' recommended for all autos. U.S. safety agency urges installation of devices so accidents can be probed better.

Just don't put one on my bicycle.

Dear Oppressive Government:

Why don't you just put a little transmitter in there too? It can send you a signal everytime I speed, and you can mail me my tickets. You can also set it up to tell you if I'm playing my music too loud, what station I'm listening to, if I'm up to date on my oil changes, and whether I'm wearing my seatbelt.

If you put a little camera in the dash, you can watch me paint my toenails on the way to work at every red light, and then start on my makeup when I'm done with that. You can watch me roll my eyes at the radio. You'll occassionally get to see me yell the new phrase I got from K translated from Polish at Morons - You make me believe in Satan!

And then, of course, you'll know that I don't believe in Satan, so I can't possibly be a good Christian Girl, but you'll already know that because I've been listening to Audioslave and Metallica and Alice in Chains, and I turn the station every time Creed comes on.

The ticket thing was the first thing I thought of on reading the story. And don't forget the GPS, so it will know where you are every minute.

I wouldn't mind if GPS was used for good (see Zelazny's novella, He Who Shapes), but I have zero trust of the government. At the same time, the FBI has my file already, and they haven't arrested me yet.
