In Missouri, anyway, and you know it has to start somewhere. Apparently I am a threat and didn't realize it, and you might be, too. This is very, very frightening. But it also kind of makes me want to go to Missouri and just drive around aimlessly, flaunting the Ron Paul for President 2008 bumper sticker that is still on my car.
As libertarians, because we support liberty, peace, and limited-to-no government, we get to be thrown in and classified with the white supremacists, "militant" activists, and tax evaders, even though most of us are none of these. In a way, this sort of attention is kind of a good thing, since it means that the liberty movement(s) is/are gaining enough ground that they are considered a threat and not simply ignored. But still . . . terrorists?
Thanks, Missouri. Thanks a lot. And to think I defended you only last night to a friend of mine who said she could never live there.
So if I disappear forever and never resurface . . . Ya'll know why.

This was only a matter of time. Given the State is a territorial monopolist of law and order, eventually it would paint anyone who dared oppose its depredations a terrorist and suspect him of treason.
But Missouri is only following in the footsteps of the John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, and Woodrow Wilson administrations which all had trouble intepreting the phrase "Congress shall make no law...or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
If I, too, am suddenly missing, remember that whatever the State tells you concerning my disappearance is a lie.
