Nobody likes having their ideas dismissed as dumb. It also annoys the hell out of me how dismissive people can be of the way others are treated. A person being told to do things under threat of physical detainment and imprisonment is pretty harsh. I find it highly offensive that anyone would condone threatening another person with such violence without a damned good reason.
Lock up the child molesters, murderers, and rapists. Punish thieves, and fraudsters. However, they are locking up farmers and flower peddlers, non-violent people, who do nothing but provide a product that they believe in, and their customers want. That I can't support and I am sickened that you or anyone else can.
If it doesn't piss you off, you are part of the problem.

Then again, I didn't know they were packaging these things in cracker-jack boxes...
