Media Bashes Practical Joke portrayed as “Art”

Joke’s on terror-scare slacker ‘Borat’ now – Herald Columnists – BostonHerald.com

These guys put up some LED-images of some cartoon characters and were made to be some horrible terrorists by the media and ATF. NOW, the author of this article makes constant snide remarks about them and implies that they are worthless pieces of garbage.

Does the reaction from this incident mean that I will not be able to go TP my buddies house to play a joke on him because it could be interpreted as a violent attack? Will someone call the ATF or FBI to be sure the toilet paper isn’t explosive?

People are becoming afraid to leave their homes or accept anything not considered “normal”. I am afraid this means the terrorists have already won.

States rejecting 1984-ish “Real ID” act

FOXNews.com – Several States Seek To Kill Federal ‘Real ID’ Requirements

Nice article about some states standing up to the “Real ID” that the federal government has scheduled to implement in 2008. Hopefully more people will be interested in this and realize how Orwellian it will make our daily lives.

Slowly the government is taking away every bit of privacy we take for granted. I’m not a big conspiracy nut or anything (I don’t think), but lines have to be drawn somewhere.
