I couldn't agree with the above more. The sad truth is, it is probably true. The fact that ti is possible in this country is reprehensible. I read stories every single day about people being detained for more ridiculous things than this, but it doesn't make the news because they are just plain folks like me getting harassed. We live in a state of near constant surveillance and suspicion, in the Good Ol' Yew Ess of Aee. The problem with being "detained" is they don't necessarily keep a record of it, they just accost you, abuse you and give you the boot. If one has no corroborating witnesses of perfect character and social standing, then you have nothing to fight back with. Cops, Corporations, Bureaucrats, Bankers, and TSA security apes are more equal than the rest of us. The Bill of Rights is dead! Long live the Bill of Rights!

...that is an acceptable usage. Fuck is one of the most useful words in the English language. I agree that misuse of the: "There, Their, They're" complex should be punished with decapitation at a minimum, then we'd have fewer troglodytes mucking up slashdot. Racism, and other bigotry should be similarly punished however, and the Grammar Nazi aforementioned is quite prosecutable.
