Sploid strikes again. On freedom of speech (and thought) in America and redundant laws that serve no purpose other than making sure that everyone is not granted equal protection under the law. Or to put it another way, some are more equal than others.

Freedom-loving Americans are all talking about the same thing: Is it legal to talk about how great it would be to kill George W. Bush?

As proven by last week’s arrest of seven oddball black guys in Florida who wanted superhero uniforms so they could dream about exciting attacks on federal cops and a building in Chicago, it turns out that simply talking about how awesome it would be to do something illegal is enough to get you hauled away to prison forever.

With all but a delusional 30% of Americans finally realizing their country is run by a murderous criminal mafia — and with U.S. spy agencies and telecommunications companies illegally recording every word you say, hear, type or read — there’s a good chance “Homeland Security” will bust down your door tonight and torture you forever in Cuba or Poland. (Or they’ll just shoot you in the head, leaving valuable interrogators free for more important duties, such as torturing retarded people.)

So the question of “Can I say what I actually think?” is hardly an academic exercise — it’s a matter of life and death, or at least life and liberty.

Your tree wants blood.
