Why You Shouldn’t Threaten the President on Your Blog

Well, duh.

At 9:45 last night, the Secret Service showed up on my mother’s front door to talk to me about what I said about the President, as what I said could apparently be misconstrued as a threat to his life. After about ten minutes of talking to me and my family, they quickly came to the conclusion that I was not a threat to national security (mostly because we are the least threatening people in the entire world) and told me that they would not recommend that any further action be taken with my case. However, I do now have a file with the FBI that includes my photograph, my e-mail address, and the location of my LJ. This will follow me around for the rest of my life, regardless of the fact that the Secret Service knows that I am not a threat.

  1. Another person who is reminded that the cyberworld is not another dimension, but an extention of the real world.

    Also, another person who thought that there is really such a thing as free speech.

    Mor like another idiot who thought free speech (or free anything) is without limits – only anarchy is.
