"As a result of those reports, released just last week, we do know now that the FBI has been spying on Americans in unprecedented ways, according to the ACLU. We know that PETA, The Catholic Workers group and Greenpeace are among those in its cross hairs.
And we know that in the spring of 2003, the FBI was bearing down hard on the Vegan Community Project in Bloomington."

"Somehow it lacks the authoritative ring of enemy of the state. If it waged war, would asparagus stalks be the weapon of choice?"

Beter hope you are not listed as a member of the Green Party, I remember reading somwhere a couple of years ago that membership was enough to brand you a potential threat. Possibly BS, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Probably NOT BS.

20 years ago, in college, I was in a group that raised funds for political refugees from Salvador and Guatemala. We also did educational work, getting word out about the torture and killing of political dissidents.

I wonder if I'm on a list somewhere.

I think we are all on the list in one form or another....
I think I already have my micro-chip installed.
