Visual Orphans, Volume 2, Issue 7

Ever since the F. B. I. performed masturbatus interruptus on our office, I have been particularly interested in personal privacy issues when it comes to the PATRIOT Acts and civil liberties in light of our post-9/11 paranoia. After an extensive floor debate, the powers of the PATRIOT Acts have been extended through the next month. After four and a half years, it is time to return to a less-restricted and monitored America. Cactus Jack, like any president off his leash, grabbed a huge handful of power, while the rest of the world was still reeling in shock. Now that our sense have returned to semi-normal, we are obligated to demand that our civil liberties be returned to us. Big Brother has become a steroid-drunk bully who has overstepped international and domestic boundaries, who peeps into windows and library records for anything suspect. I urge you to call your Senators and your Representatives and remind them that, as Americans, we have built a "free society," overflowing with "free speech," and a freedom to exchange ideas, thoughts, and desires without a fear of retribution from the government.

The thoughtpolice are coming! Of course, I have to wonder if I will have another visit from the F. B. I., simply for writing this article. Let me tell you that while in handcuffs, it was not easy trying to catch my First and Fourth Amendment rights as they bounced around our offices. I was polite and hospitable, helping them sound out the authors of my books and showing them my work. Hell, I would have made them tea, if I had not been in handcuffs. If they come back to visit again, I will be sure to have cookies and milk for them. In a short sentence, we are America. Please say No to domestic spying and say it loudly, before it is too late. If nothing else, think of it as throwing a snowball at a burning building.
