Secret Service Reads Livejournal
Prong_Thunder writes "A livejournal post written on October 18th (google cache, scroll down to 'a prayer for dubya') resulted in a visit from the US Secret Service nine days later, as it 'constituted a possible threat to the president'."
If this were a country that celebrated freedom of speech, you'd be okay.
Unfortunately for you, Americans are a small, scared, nasty bunch who like nothing more than beat their chests and show how they're much Holier than Thou, and they know how you should act. In fact, they'll pass some laws to force you to act their way.
So, freedom of speech may have worked back in 1776, but in the technological vastness of today's future, it is an idea that is as obsolete as "freedom from unreasonable searches," "separation of church and state," and "innocent until proven guilty."
With that in mind, when the SS comes to your door, do not make any sudden movements; do not look them in the eye; and follow their directions quickly and without protest.
Yeah, right.
She certainly deserved what she got... If she doesn't want Bush to be president, she shouldn't vote for him (if she's even old enough to vote; if she's just some angsty teen, she'll just have to wait until she grows up). Wishing for his death is just childish and stupid.
