    I don't know whether to laugh or cry:

    http://www.11alive.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=75151

    "The ACLU of Georgia released copies of government files on Wednesday that illustrate the extent to which the FBI, the DeKalb County Division of Homeland Security and other government agencies have gone to compile information on Georgians suspected of being threats simply for expressing controversial opinions...
    ..For example, more than two dozen government surveillance photographs show 22-year-old Caitlin Childs of Atlanta, a strict vegetarian, and other vegans picketing against meat eating, in December 2003. They staged their protest outside a HoneyBaked Ham store on Buford Highway in DeKalb County.

    An undercover DeKalb County Homeland Security detective was assigned to conduct surveillance of the protest and the protestors, and take the photographs. The detective arrested Childs and another protester after he saw Childs approach him and write down, on a piece of paper, the license plate number of his unmarked government car."

    Our tax dollars at work.

    welll... obviously ALL vegetarians were involved in the Vail Fire (historical note: most forest/ wild land defenders also get in to self sufficiency, which includes, gasp, hunting...that's their choice) (rolls eyes at all veggies in "terror groups")

    Oh I'm about to start a jihad on America, that's for sure.

    But definitely not because I'm vegan.

    (That being said, the only meat I think I will ever be able to bring myself to eat, willingly, would have to be human meat, and it would have to be someone I really, really hate, like Bush, or my dad. ^_^ Then I might actually enjoy it.)

    I say we all hit the White House, and do weird tribal dances outside, chanting, (we'd have to be naked, OBVIOUSLY) and put a Oogedy Boogedy Voodoo Hex on them all!!!

    How about loincloths instead? Then, at least we won't be arrested for public indecency.

    Alright, I guess we can settle for loincloths. I mean, if we have to.

    But the Voodoo Curse is still on!!! Teach them to mess with angry vegans!!

    A police state? Oh it's much worse than that. I wouldn't even call it a dictatorship anymore ...

    Why don't we just make this easy and call it Hell?

    Sorry, Satan, your outdated operation is no longer needed ...

    Starhawk does a thing where people get naked and coat themselves with mud. It startled the Sacramento cops a few years ago at the WTO ministerial conference.

    how thick would mud/clay have to be to be considered covering?
    I'm thinking some of the radical sisters at the next protest in Denver.

    I'm not surprised, I've heard stuff about the feds tracking PETA members and whatnot, just proves how fucked up our freedoms are.
