And in another thread, somebody told me I'm "eccentric" because I fear the government doing exactly what they did to Gizmodo's Editor. You're not being eccentric when you have case-after-case-after-case of government abuse to back you up.

Damn Feds made me stand around for an hour before finally admitting, "Well I guess you ain't got no illegals here." Duh. It's a coupe not a van.

The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied..... chains us all irrevocably." - Captain Picard
