If we\u2019re going to let government ignore the law in favor of inquisitive gossip, here are a few questions I\u2019d like to see:<\/p>\n
Have you ever protested official US government policy such as the War in Vietnam or the War in Iraq? [anti-government sentiments]<\/p>\n
Are you, or any member of your extended family in this country or abroad, a member of the Muslim faith? [possible terrorist]<\/p>\n
Are you gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered? [potential depressive, possible suicide]<\/p>\n
Do you live in a predominantly Black, Hispanic or Asian neighborhood? [may tend to violence]<\/p>\n
Are you a single mother? [poor judge of character]<\/p>\n
When you were in High School, did the Cool Girls Clique snub you? [bitter, resentful]<\/p>\n
Do you have a visible means of support upon which you pay state income tax? [shiftless, no-account, lazy]<\/p>\n
Have you ever consulted a mental health professional or counsellor, at any time, for any reason? [nuts]<\/p>\n
Have you, or any member of your household, ever used, possessed or sold marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, or other illegal drugs? [doper]<\/p>\n
Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of an organization committed to the overthrow of the American Way of Life, i.e. the Democrat party? [self-explanatory]<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t see why anyone would object to telling Law Enforcement these personal details before being allowed to exercise Fundamental Constitutional Rights. Put them on the Application to Register to Vote, the Application for Welfare and the Application To Have An Abortion, too. What\u2019s the problem?<\/p>\n
