The American government constantly thinks up new ways to put their citizens in jail, here's the latest....

Under this new proposed law if you discuss committing a crime, not commit it, just talk about it under the RICO law you can be put in jail and forfeit all your positions......

You lie about your age filling out a web form? GUILTY

Congress plans to make computer crime law much, much worse

NOTE: There are now more Americans in jail than Stalin put in his gulags....

“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there it that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

The regime needs a reason to justify the shiny new federal prisons.
