You don't know how much I've feared this sort of thing since it first hit me (quite hard) that the police can pretty much do whatever they want with whatever you say in your blog. Of course, most of the time I'm afraid I'll do something stupid, criminal, and it'll come back and haunt me, all the stuff I've said innocently, or times I've expressed my distaste of things, and taken out of context, twisted against me.
Then I read this sort of thing and realize... damn, it happens even when you're not really guilty of anything.
Way to go, freedom of speech.
After having spent a week down in the States, I can truely say that it would really scare me to live there again. Now that my eyes are open to what freedom truely is once more, I really don't want to give it up for an insane nation that follows whatever they're told like blind sheep.
That goes for the American left, too, and their disappointing "I'm too hip to be really into politics and actually care about things when shit hits the fan..." which I think the last election proved quite effectively.
I couldn't possibly count off the amount of ways America scares me. The blind patriotism, the convoluted contradictions between their current state of affairs and their historical sentiments... it bloody scares me.
Poor dude.
