Fatherland

I've long understood that speaking my mind is hazardous to gainful employment, but living outside the mainstream economy for so long evidently insulated me from the paranoia. Yesterday I applied to shelf books at our city
library, for which I had to agree to urinate into a beaker upon request. Today I received an application to work as a clerk at the bookstore in our community
college that requires getting fingerprinted, tested for TB , and signing a Loyalty Oath.

I'm almost afraid to ask, "Loyalty to what?" Should I hide the fact I have a French poodle?
