"Who's been commenting in my journal" meme

This is a little harder to do that most memes - it's not as automated - but anyway... fun to see the results.

( Who's been commenting in my journal? )

Coolness. Heh.

My Turn

You all know about anniesj's post about the Secret Service visiting her. No? Well the post is here if you want to get up to speed.

If you're on rhiannonhero's flist, go read her post here. She summed up my feelings better than I ever could.

The gist of it though? Threatening the President is a Federal crime. Yes, it's shitty if someone on LJ reported her out of spite. Doesn't change the fact that threatening the President is a crime. The Secret Service was doing their job, exactly the way they're supposed to. If you think there's something wrong with the fact that the Secret Service visited her, then maybe you don't know enough about how this country works.

Some people are trying to make this about freedom of speech and civil rights... that's bull. Even freedom of speech has its limits. And even if it didn't... for God's sake, use a little common sense when you post in a public forum. DUH!! Hate Dubya all you want - I do - but if you say you want him dead, don't be surprised if the Secret Service come knocking on your door.
