Welcome to Our Police State

Hi everyone, and welcome to our post-9/11 police state.

I'm really troubled by two recent examples of the accepted methods of law enforcement and the way the media reports on them.

Example #1:
The guy at the Kerry political talk who got tazered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvrWt_dHAT4

Example #2:
The MIT student who was arrested today at Boston's Logan airport as a terrorism suspect: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070921/ap_on_re_us/fake_bomb

A John Doe Law Suit I can get behind!

Generally I think that John Doe law suits are bad. The RIAA has used them to find out the identities of alleged illegal file sharers. I never thought I would read about one that I actually could support. But today I read about a lawsuit filed by Project Honey Pot against John Doe spammers. The class action suit seeks $1 Billion in damages.
