Does it strike other people as ironic that the new T litter campaign... er, safety campaign... involves flyers with the word "TRUST" prominently displayed, but that the point of the flyers is in fact that we should be distrustful?

fyi, the flyer says "see something? say something. transit watch. TRUST your instincts and be prepared" with TRUST in a font about three times the size of everything else.

(note that this is not a statement on the appropriateness of a "watch your neighbor" motto as I haven't fully formed an opinion yet, but just on the irony. Though comments on said (in)appropriateness are welcome)

Yeah. What happened to days when Presidents would say that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"? Or "Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration." Oh, wait, sorry, I'm mixing my Presidents and my science fiction novels again...
