Slashdot.org linked to A Word To The Wise. It's a post on LiveJournal about the Secret Service showing up at the poster's house because of a post that was construed to be a threat on the President's life. I don't know what the post said, but I guess it shows that speech ain't so free anymore.
I do wish the post was still online. The poster said that she took down the post fearing future repercussions. Despite what she says about not living in fear, I think she is. If I ever write a post that draws the attention of the SS or any other government agency, I'll be damned if I take it down voluntarily especially in this day and age where you can download a daily beheading straight from Iraq (are they streaming them yet?). I might even be inspired to publish it in a book and try to make a dime from it.
Are you Hoovers taking notes?
