The seeds of conspiracy

"The Albuquerque Police Department has turned to the want ads for snitches.
An ad this week in the alternative newspaper The Alibi asks "people who hang out with crooks" to do part-time work for the police.
It reads in part: "Make some extra cash! Drug use and criminal record OK."

With things like this, you can't really blame even the non-nutters for entertaining ideas of conspiracy between the forces of the state and the forces of ...what 'good/bad', 'disorder'.
