FBI Planning to Arrest Anne Rice
That must be the plan. It is all part of the FBI anti-obscenity squad's plan to shut down a text only web site because the words found within were deemed "obscene". Apparently, the pay site in question accepts submitted stories of the erotic nature and was shut down for it. If they took down a website with erotic stories, surely Vladimir Nabokov (author of Lolita), and Anne Rice (who has written quite a few erotic tales herself) are next. Will they dig up the corpse of Nabokov and slap the cuffs on him in the name of "Smut Busters". I don't know, but my freedom of speech alarm is sounding off.
I look forward to how this goes down in the supreme court. Will they allow the Feds to decide what is decent and what isn't, or will they allow all Americans to have freedom of speech?
I know it isn't excatly "real" free speech. I know a whole bunch of things I could write right here that would get me visited by the feds. Sure they would bat me around a little, perhaps even violate me analy, but ultimately they couldn't do anything legally (unless I meant what I wrote and they could find evidence of it.)
