But 1985 looks dumb. Anyway, hasn't it been done before--wasn't there a comic that depicted major events in the Marvel Universe through the eyes of regular people?

I still think "Wolverine's All-Time greatest..." is a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the comics Millar grew up with.... He's adopted it in all of his Marvel stuff, and I sort of get a kick out of it.... 'Cause it reminds me of my childhood, back when I could believe that, yes, it just might actually be the all-time greatest adventure.... Ahhh, the not-so jaded far-flung past....

But good work in those LORD OF THE RINGS movies. Just stop playing the bad guy in crappy Hollywood action flicks so much.

It's been said elsewhere, but FINAL CRISIS is the one Big Two event this summer to actually have a secret invasion. SECRET INVASION should just be called INVASION, like the Nicole Kidman movie.

To your actual points, the instructions, garbage lid fine, and lunch confiscation do sound terrible. Cameras and saltshakers? SFW. I am a total social libertarian and I have never understood the objection to cameras. When you are on the streets, you have already chosen to be in public. How is this a violation of your civil liberties? Ordering you to pick up something should engender a go fuck yourself response.

The problem with the environment is that it is a shared finite resource. I am not sure what kind of carbon tax you are envisioning, but this is usually applied to businesses based upon their output and rewards those companies that minimize their impact.

Also, the phrase Nanny state is generally term invented by corporatists and PC chicken littles who want to return to a buyer beware world where the don't have to take any responsibility for their actions. It sounds like you have some legitimate gripes. (Do you actually live in the UK? - I may be moving there for 3-4 years next summer.)

Oh, and by the way? All men must now wear teal shirts, so that we can tell which ones are the men. Any man caught wearing a shirt color other than teal will face a 100 pound fine. SFW? As a social libertarian, I think teal is a perfectly nice color, and don't understand why any men would have a problem wearing it.

Sugarbess, do you notice like I do that the more one participates in online communication, the more one begins to view it as a source of validation? I can tell you're a sensitive person with deep yearnings, Sugarbess, and I wonder how you parcel out answers you can live with regarding the fundamental and burning questions of, What you think of Grant Morrison lately? What happen in Final Crisis? and Bendis need stop watching Aaron Sorkin so much? By God, I hope those millionaires know what they've got on their hands, Sugarbess. Don't ever let them make you feel small, baby.

See, for example, a recent California case that made headlines where the cops were exposed as lying on the stand due to a video camera from across the street. They claimed a defendant ran and threw some Coke which they found. The camera completely contradicted their testimony, the charges were dropped, and now those pigs are being investigated.

They're going to need someone to enforce it, right? And is it really gonna be them? No, that wouldn't be PC. That's where Buzz Maverik's PC Goon Squad comes in. I'm already contracting with several major Universities and municipal governments. The regular cops won't do the job because who's less PC than cop? ...Besides a Buzz Maverik PC Goon?

Now, that's why I'm here. Recruiting. Are you sadistic (or empathically challenged as my PC clients would say?). Good with an electronic cattle prod and a garrote (aka a bovine-American cooperation enhancer and a ... garrote)? Would you have made a great Special Forces troop but you couldn't pass the psychological profile (let's be honest, for this job, we need guys who couldn't even pass the psych profile for Black Ops)? Willing to pound on people for sub-minimum wage or just beer? Post your resumes here on this talkback. And remember our motto: PC stands for Pain Control, bay-bee!
