Return of the Thought Police

Last week I wrote about how counterproductive it was anti-war protesters to block traffic. While I maintain my stance, I sure as hell don't think lying in a street is an act of terrorism, as do certain Oregon lawmakers. Slapping a "terrorism" label on what is essentially a civil disobedience offense is completely moronic. Does this mean that if the Trailblazers win the NBA title, the several thousand subsequent rioters will all get an automatic 25-year prison sentence? I really wish lawmakers would put in an ounce of thought and foresight into their ridiculous proposals.
