Many of us are on "lists", some from cradle -to-grave. Big Brother America has been around for ages.

By exercising your rights you could become a targeted individual for your lifetime, along with family, friends and associates. That's a fact of life.

if the feds ever come asking about my uncle, keep my fuckin mouth shut.

Apparently he was a bit subversive in the 60s.


I don't know nothin. But I miss them both terribly. They were fun people...

edit~ I should also add, by way of explanation of the kinds of things my dad might say, that he also told me (and I believed him until well into my 20s) that capers were rooster balls. I still can't eat chicken saltimbucca without thinking of that and laughing.
