The cd-rom ('cd-rom' must be said with a grand, monster-truck announcer sort of voice. More on that later) is a listing of so-called sex offenders in your neighborhood. Under the guise of 'protecting children,' which is a good idea, since they will probably have a better grasp of the actual use of a cd-rom than most cops, this cd-rom is available at police headquarters and fairgrounds and other areas of clear, reflective, critical thinking. On it are lists of people, with addresses, who have been convicted of a sex crime in the past.
People have already been assaulted, homes have been burned, people forced to move because of this. But that's law and order, right? So why aren't these dangerous predators in jail? The answer is that they've served their time. This makes the answer to whether the justice system is interested in rehabilitation or punishment painfully clear. By the admission implicit in the existence of such a cd, these people have not been rehabilitated. If, by accident, they have the address or name of someone who hasn't been convicted of a sex crime (and they have many of these) then they probably should get messed up. No-one is innocent.
Not only have these people not been rehabilitated, many of them are still gay. A number of people on the record are there because of consensual homosexual sex. Just as well, wouldn't want older gay men in your children's neighborhood, they would make your children aware of your appalling lack of taste in clothes. It would be better to burn them out than to suffer through that moment all parents dread: "mommy, why is daddy wearing stripes and plaids together with those shoes?"
The fact that it is a cd-rom is absolutely essential to the success of the program. Everybody knows that books lie. In California more than most places. The vast majority of Californians have long ago discovered that school science textbooks have been subverted by secular humanists and don't mention the garden of eden, but are instead filled with lies about evolution. Computers on the other hand, are infallible. Go watch the movie '2001'. If you've made it this far through my web page, you're keenly aware of the simplicity and ease of use that make computers the ideal choice for telling the truth. Just punch a neighborhood into the sex offender cd-rom, (no, don't actually punch the cd. put it in the computer and then...oh never mind) and there's a handy map to the house of that guy you always thought was a little too neat and had a car that you envied. All you need then is a can of gasoline and some matches.
