Moved

Hail Odin, god of travelers.
I have escaped from Scorpio City.
In the nick of time I think, with the Democratic National Circus coming to town. http://charlotte.news14.com/content/dnc_2012/660911/cmpd-gets-more-than--5-million-to-cover-the-dnc
Some (very few) predict violent protest. I think there will be nothing of the sort. Charlotte prides itself on its politeness. I think there will be very mannerly protests, in designated areas, probably with police stooges in the leadership, as we have already seen with the Occupy movement. The homeless (anybody with a backpack) will be either rounded up or shooed off. Expect to see TSA on the train, the buses and trolleys.

I predict they'll create a 'security zone' bounded by 10th (with the soup kitchen right outside the perimeter) and Stonewall, Graham and McDowell. The directors of all this will have a virtual ringside seat. Charlotte's 'uptown' is wired for sound and lights. http://www.earthcam.com/usa/northcarolina/charlotte/
That is just one of many. "You won't know if you're being watched or not," chortled a local DHS officer in an interview on Fox.
They are also pushing for citizens to spy on each other: https://axiomamuse.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/department-of-homeland-security-announces-if-you-see-something-say-something-partnership-with-the-city-of-charlotte/
I expect there will be TSA/VIPR checkpoints in place on all the major roads leading into and out of Charlotte by September. https://gaspeegazette.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/national-guard-flying-military-helicopters-over-lake-norman-homeland-security-checking-ids-in-charlotte/

All in all, I am very glad to be outta there. Moving nearly killed me, but I am recovering nicely in my new garret.
