More Police State Costs

Not quite a direct, out-of-pocket cost like the ones I wrote about yesterday, but still high. According to the US Supreme Court, Americans are barred from contact or association with any group the US government declares "terrorist". If the government says a group is terrorist, Americans cannot even contact that group to tell them not to engage in terrorist activity. Under the Patriot Act, which further debases an already tattered concept of patriotism, the government will decide. We are not allowed to dissent.

Now lets see. Where have I heard that happening before?
