After reviewing the last two posts, I googled American Political Prisoners. The search produced several web-sites dedicated to the names and stories of A.P.P's. Some of them are revolutionaries, black panthers, eco-activists, and native american activists.

Their stories are wrought with trumped up charges, frame jobs, harrasment, assassination, and unlawful imprisonment. Not to say all were choir boys, but there is a consensus of unbalance, and injustice.

Individual statements made about change and revolution are seemingly tolerated, however two or more individuals in association, can be labeled conspiritors, and after being evaluated by the federalies, as to their level of danger, can then be dealt with accordingly.

This is not to say that an individuals statements can not bring about the wrath of the government. There are many key players in the patriot movement, whom according to their personal testimony, are subjected to constant harrassment, wire taps, jail detainment, impending legal struggles, and ominous warnings to cease and desist their investigations and inquiries.

Without a doubt, I side with dyshades reservations concerning what is publicly said. Words can be twisted, manipulated, and taken completely out of context, much to the detriment of the speaker.
