Except, you know, not having sold my soul to the devil.

Can any individual government agent in such a capacity ever really be "just like me"? I don't take orders from anyone. They do. In that respect, they are nothing like me at all.

A large part of what makes tales of government harassment like this one so troubling is how similar, reasonable, and even pleasant the agents are. If they are just like us, then why is there so much injustice?
