Tami Baribeau: twenty-something, female, live in San Diego, work in social games. I blog about MMO gaming and virtual worlds here, and about feminist/queer gaming here. I'm also into interior design, indie rock, horses, real estate, writing, LGBT rights, feminism, and rad tech. Oh, and the internet is cool.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.
And then I log on to the internet — which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration — and post on Freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.
