Of course seems perfectly reasonable.

I mean heck last time we had an unjust system of government where the people weren't being represented there were all these secret meetings and the like. Next thing you know we are at war with England.

Think about how much easier things would have been if those groups had to register what they were doing?

Bah its nothing new look at the old "Alien and Sedition" acts that Jefferson said were unconstitutional.

I actually mentioned this to a history teacher today during class and he commented that its really nothing new, many states have done it in the past.

Oh and true on Yankees and Confederates. My brain is just stuck with the Revolutionary War at the moment as I have a mid term on it on Monday.

Yeah, it is strange isn't it? But if we can give illegal aliens drivers' licenses and Social Security numbers yet still not arrest/deport them...

Almost as effective as "don't blame me I voted for kerry" Except the Kerry stickers didn't speak to any latent homosexual tendencies of the owner of said sticker...
