Criminalizing Your Thoughts

[i] [color=red] [b]“If my thought-dreams could be seen, they’d probably put my head in a guillotine.â€

Quote in part:

"Well-meaning though they may seem, hate crime laws that punish not just the act but the motive open the door for a whole new realm of prosecutions, namely thought crimes.
But when all is said and done, a violent crime is still a violent crime, no matter what the motivation, and criminalizing someone’s thoughts or speech will never change that.

Unfortunately, this issue is not going away any time soon. Although President Bush has pledged to veto the legislation, the likelihood of an expanded federal hate crime law is a very real eventuality. It is one more sign that politically correct America is moving closer and closer to extinguishing freedom. "


If I'm ever arrest for my thoughts or words I'm getting a high powered lawyer and taking it all the way to the Supreme Court.
