A young friend called today concerned he might be on some government list as a militant radical. They have an eight year old high functioning autistic son they pulled from public school and are home schooling.
I advised him he was already in someone’s data base with the tattoos he has similar to these.
A terrible place we have reached in this country when productive citizens, simply living their lives as they see fit, have faceless government employees tracking them.
And it's not getting any better... We're all on a bunch of lists...
