Plenty of blame to go around, indeed. The belwhether for me was the legislation of 'hate crime' and 'hate speech' laws. This is just another nail in the Constitution's coffin, as far as I'm concerned.

Think about it - should we fear a government that has declared that we can be prosecuted and jailed - or worse - for what we might have been thinking?

As bad as this is, though, the trigger point will be the application of all of these laws and more to the Internet. It's the last great frontier of free minds and free speech. When the 'net goes down, it'll be time to take to the field.

Not to get into "one up-menship", but I realized our Constitution was dead the day they burned at Waco. People thought I was jumping the gun.

Yeah right....
