That might be a bit more appalling."

THIS is the result of what the Bush Administration's constant drum beat of fear has done to this country. Be afraid. All the time. Lose your imagination and creativity. STAY AFRAID. The officials in Boston should be ashamed of themselves for making a mountain out of a mole hill. This is a sad, sad state of affairs and I am personally glad the two guys have the attitude they have. The judge should throw this entire thing out of court when it comes before him/her and send everyone in Boston's City Hall, DVD's of Aqua Teen Hunger Force to remind them we don't live in a police state.
