You know what's interesting, Pissah, and I'd curious to know if you agree. Both of us played it cautiously and qualified our posts above (even though were being humorous). I said, "it's not for me, but ..." and you said, "NSA - ignore this post."
A few weeks ago I went out to dinner with a friend and in the context of knocking over a glass of wine, he said "I'm a terrorist," and then looked nervously around before adding, "I should probably watch what I say." I think there's a certain awareness that the government might be listening in on us, which is actually curtailing our freedom of speech. Sure, we're free to say things, but the environment is a little more intimidating.
