The only thing we have to fear is...?

A while back, I signed up for a service called “Notify NYC.” Its sole purpose appears to be keeping Big Apple denizens just scared enough to comply with virtually any order. (See above for the latest sample.)

“How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There was a myriad of problems that conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you.” (V for Vendetta)
