Is that why those taco bell t-shirts are banned?

There's always going to be an occassional unpredictable person who'll do something terrible. They're not to blame for people losing their freedom, its the authority figures who use such rare events to enact an agenda of opression and control and the frightened dimwitts who feel safer whenever anyone acting different gets dragged away and given intensive inspection and reeducation.

I think of all the brilliant, successful people who tell about what troublemakers and oddballs they were in school and wonder what the future will be like without their successors.
