Here's one California Democratic representative Jane Harman, and the house snuck by when the press was focusing on Britney.
Hardly seems possible that it passed, and with such a majority, and now, with help of Creepy Joe Lieberman, we're about to live in a land where someone can tell you what to think or not to think.

From the linked article: Examples of the resulting crackdowns on such protests include the conviction and execution of anarchists tied to Chicago's 1886 Haymarket Riot. Hearings conducted by the House Un-American Activities Committee for several decades during the Cold War and the solo hearings by a member of that committee's Senate counterpart, Joseph McCarthy, demonstrate the dangers inherent in Ms. Harman's legislation.

I recognize Wolf's 10-step pattern that, as she found in her research, dictatorships invariably follow in their creation. Do you think her comparisons are valid?
