Americans Must Watch What They Read

posted by Zed on July 21 2003 08:32

Imagine this sequence of events. A man reads a story in a Tampa free weekly paper called “Weapons of Mass Stupidity”, critical of Fox News. He makes a printout and passes it on to his son, a dark bearded man. His son reads it while on line in a coffee house. A concerned citizen makes a call to the FBI reporting someone reading “seditious literature.” What would the FBI do?

A) Laugh their asses off that it’s supposed to be worth their while to chase tips about men in coffeehouses reading essays

B) Send two agents to question him and search his car

Feel safer yet?

And it looks like I'm in no position to criticise, either. :)
