Title: Home Invasion... tell me what I should do?

Has it gone too far? Perhaps. But consider the alternatives. The Amish lifestyle? Sorry, I like cars, rock music, and my laptop too much for that. Tin foil hats chafe my scalp. The most radical thing I do is own and shoot a few guns, and they already know that, thanks to NICS and such.
The way I figure it, I lead far too boring a lifestyle for anyone in the government to give two damns about me. if they do watch, I hope they enjoy tracking me to the pet store toorrow ith my sons so we can pick up some new fish for teh tank, and then a trip to the store to get my oldest (the growth facory) some new pants that are long enough, followed by a stop for Graeter's ice cream. Take that, surveillance man!

"Matsushita engineers here unveiled a toilet seat equipped with electrodes that send a mild electric charge through the user's buttocks, yielding a digital measurement of body-fat ratio."
"Inax,counterattacked in April with a toilet that glows in the dark and whirs up its lid after an infrared sensor detects a human being. When in use, the toilet plays any of six soundtracks, including chirping birds, rushing water, tinkling wind chimes, or the strumming of a traditional Japanese harp."
"a $3,000 throne that not only greets a user by flipping its lid, but also by blasting its twin air nozzles - air-conditioning in the summer, heat in the winter. Patting this Cadillac of toilets, Hiroyuki Matsui, chief engineer here, said, "You can bring a bathroom temperature down by 7 degrees Celsius in 30 seconds."
"For owners who might not be so regular, this toilet allows users to set the temperature and pressure of a water jet spray used to wash and massage the buttocks, an enormously popular feature in Japan."
""You may think a toilet is just a toilet, but we would like to make a toilet a home health measuring center," Mr. Matsui, the Matsushita engineer, said in a lecture here in Nara, near Osaka. "We are going to install in a toilet devices to measure weight, fat, blood pressure, heart beat, urine sugar, albumin and blood in urine."

Sheesh, I have a hard enough time just getting my regular toilet to flush all the way.
And I don't want any machine massaging my butt.

I think the Japanese really get into the 'cadillac' toilet. On a recent trip even the hotels had toilets that were heated and water jet, it seems pretty standard fare for them. Weird to me, but whatever floats thier boat.
