Last month a North Carolina student was investigated by the Secret Service for a school project on the Bill of Rights. He took a photograph of his own thumb pointing down next to a photo of Dubya, to illustrate our right to dissent. He had it developed at Wal-Mart, and an employee turned the photo over to the local police who gave it to the SS.

The SS conducted interviews at the boy’s school, taking the poster from the classroom and questioning the teacher. “You didn’t think this was suspicious?”
