I know what's causing global warming. It's not the greenhouse gasses. It's the friction caused by the founding fathers spinning in their graves.
God help us all, because you know this is going to pass. No one wants to be 'soft on terror' in this day and age.
Where 'terror' = 'politically dissident' or 'inconvenient for the current administration'.
Do not, for the love of whatever you love, say "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about." Our founding fathers knew that humans can, frankly, not be trusted. There is no proof, no justice, no transparency. They can take anyone, and say they did something wrong, and not have to prove it. When they've tortured confession from you, they can say "See, this proved us right."
This is legal permission for the effing Salem Witch Trials! Only instead of 'witch' put in 'terrorist'.
Left, Right, in the middle, dead drunk, asleep, apathetic, /this is wrong/.
