Apparently, thinking is illegal.

My mother knows someone who wrote a simple song, and emailed it to her friend. One line said something against presidents in general.

The next day, her account was terminated, and later, the FBI showed up and confiscated and destoyed her hard drive.

It took lots of legal crap to not have to be jailed. Preposterous!

If you stopped someone on the street and handed them a Bible, for example, this could be considered an act of terrorism ("...use of force to promote the individual's religious beliefs...")

If you sent a barrage of angry letters to Washington about global warming and the destruction of the environment by the U.S. military, this could also be considered an act of terrorism ("...to promote the individual's political beliefs...")

If you believe in same-sex marriage and you wrote a letter threatning a sit-in protest in front of your state's capitol building, this could also be considered an act of terrorism, even if you never carried it out! ("...planned use of force to promote a social belief...")


This is ridiculous. [Government edit] SUPAR DUPAR AWESOME KEEP IT UP GUYS [/Government edit].

What? That doesn't make any sence. The bit about the song makes me enraged.

Basically, its patriot act fever; A bill that forces the politicians to vote for it even though NOT A SINGLE CONGRESSMAN has actually read it, but to vote against it makes you unamerican. Then we spend the next 8 years trying to describe how absurdly anti-constitutional it was.

Its the backdoor, shadowy approach. As long as the media doesn't pick it up, they can pass any sort of fucked up law they want.

Even worse; if the media picks it up, they can be taken off air.

In school, that was always possible. But now, anywhere is possible. A song. Any internet content from the US. A poster. A fictional book. Anything.

Actually, I'm not allowed to touch school computers in the state of Colorado, decreed so by the state. It wasn't the school's decision.

Thank God the guy who wrote this wasn't an American. He'd be in Gwatamalo prison by now.
