Well you're not paranoid if they really are out to get you

Be still sad heart and cease repining;
Behind the clouds the sun is shining,
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life a little rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
Longfellow -

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,

O'er many a quaint and curious piece of internet lore,

While I surfed on, sometimes gaming, suddenly my IDS is claiming,

A botnet's surely aiming, aiming at at my firewall door.

`'Tis the gummint,' I screamed, `aiming at my firewall door -
It must be this, and nothing more.'

Then my hackles came to stirring as I heard the dreaded whirring

Of a black ops copter near my door.

Then the ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,

At the grave and stern assemblage of the black ops team it bore.

Though thy agents be dressed in camo, bearing bandoliers of ammo, more than any sight I'd seen,

Ghastly grim and well-armed soldiers charging out the helo door

'Tell me what thy lordly names are on the Night's Plutonian shore!'

Quoth the soldiers, `HIT THE FLOOR!'

..-but this topic is so delicious the words just flowed to my consciousness ...

“And this mess is so big
And so deep and so tall,
We cannot pick it up.
There is no way at all!”
― Dr. Seuss
