Thought crime, anyone? How about the Precrimes Division? (My wife and I just saw ‘Minority Report’ again – great movie!)

Soon, there will be brain scans of all of America to test for racial animus, executed by legions of overhead unmanned drones funded in a joint project by the SPLC and Holder DOJ. They’ll be in for a surprise when they find out that everyone’s a little bit racist.

“the county may be planning to seek the striking down of a particular law on the grounds that the lawmakers who enacted it were influenced by citizens displaying improper animus”

Can we presume that the US Constitution could also be struck down because of the “improper animus” displayed by the original Boston Tea Party? BTW, who decides what sort of “proper” animus is to be considered acceptable?

Wow! I’ll refrain from posting my usual “crackpot comments” in my local newspaper!

(The last one I posted was after a news report that Sunnyvale CA police are now carrying tasers. I commented: “They get to carry tasers, and I can’t even carry plastic bags.” They had just banned plastic bags in Sunnyvale.)
