Years ago, I was helping to raise money for a member of AWRM who had been arrested on gun charges. I posted a letter I received from him here, and on a little Oklahoma libertarian website that had maybe half a dozen members who occasionally posted. In the letter, he said that when he got out of prison he wanted to start a website of his own, and be "bigger, badder, and better than ever."

Well, the prosecutor took that phrase out of context at his sentencing hearing. I was horrified. But I was more dumbfounded because the prosecutor never mentioned AWRM at all, saying only that I had posted the letter on that little libertarian discussion group.

Frankly, I don't see the big deal about the government saying they're doing this now, when they've already been doing it for years. The only thing I see different about it, is that the government is finally acknowledging it.

Oh, and you can't blame Obama for it entirely. All this happened to Falsarge and I when Bush was president.
