Given that the US now equates smoking a joint with "terrorism", and is preparing to equate smoking a cigarette with terrorism, you gotta wonder if next year eating a Big Mac will be supporting terrorism too....

I wonder how long it will be before somebody in Congress gets the bright idea that using an Internet casino is supporting terrorism? Or downloading porn? Or any and every social sin and vice? Is "terrorism" going to become the catch all of crime?

Gimme a break!
