The monitor for this piece displays a series of headlines, followed by fine print.
The first headline states, "I am terrified of the PATRIOT Act." This is followed by the fine
print of the act, which allows alleged terrorists to be prosecuted without due process of law.
However the fine print is too small to be read. If you step up to the monitor to attempt to read it,
the text is replaced by the Pledge of Allegiance, and two small USA flags pop up like a rabbit ear antenna.
I am terrified that any criticism I make of the government could be prosecuted under the PATRIOT Act,
hence to protect myself I resort to this form of self censorship so my words can not be read,
and I can not be charged under this Draconian PATRIOT Act.
