Patriot Act Freindly Cities Maybe Dangerous to Artists?

I admit I have a sort of agenda here. I belong to one of those groups
that try to convince cities to become Patriot Act Free Zones. I noted
from the Article in the Berkshire Eagle:
http://www.berkshireeagle.com/Stories/0,1413,101~7514~2201256,00.html
that it appeared that at least some members of the local government
are very supportive of the Patrito Act and the FBI's actions to a high
degree. Some were even critical to the point of saying it was something
a science department should do and not an art department.

I dunno but it is important that someone ask, because awhile ago the
Canadian Suprerme Court ruled that even if the wind blows geneticly
modified crops into your fields you owe the company for the plants that
are growing in your fields!

Anyway I liked some of that sort of stuff. I mean it seems like
something that someone should do Science Fair projects about too.
I mean this person was growing some of the same critter in her

What I was thinking is that if you Art or Science is anywhere beyond
the narrow confines that some define as Art you might want to be
in a city that and/or county that has declard itself to be a Patriot
Act Free Zone. I say this because Bush gave his pro-Patriot Act Speech
in Buffalo in front of the Police and Fire types. Even though the
resolutions might not really hold water, they might convince the local
police and fire folks not to call the Joint Terrorism Task Forces at the
least percieved Provocation.

My big worry is that "terrorism" is the new communism and people are
going to be looking for the terrorists in the neighborhoods the same
people used to look for communists. What if it was jusgt a9 crzy religious
guys that got lucky? I will spare people my gloomy thoughts about religion.
Gack, if I could take the climate and they'd have me I'd consider
moving to Canada. That's how depressed I have becomeabout the US. Yeah, ya
have a lot of Rights written down on 200+ year old pieces of paper
but when push comes to shove and the SWAT team comes with guns because
someone made a mistaken phone call where are your rights then? Well the
West Coast is somewhat better, gack am I glad I left the Ohio Valley.
