Yay

Obama agrees to sign bill saying he can indefinitely detain anybody -- including American citizens -- arrested by the military.

Yay, the land of the, uhm, well, not so free, but home of the, err, well, not exactly brave either, now that I think of it. U S A! U S A! We're number... well... not exactly #1 in anything except body count, but hey, that's okay, right? Right?!

At least the Soviet Union gave you a show trial before disappearing you. Just sayin'.

  3. You only got the show trial if you were high enough profile to merit one. Ordinary folks just disappeared. An acquaintance, Mayme Sevander (author of They Took My Father ) lived through the 1930s in the Soviet Union -- there'd be a knock on the door, someone would be taken, and no one knew for sure where the disappeared went or if they were alive or dead.

If you spew scientific denialism, or insist that the sky is purple, or otherwise insist that your made-up universe of pink unicorns and cotton candy trees is "real", well -- expect the banhammer.
