Are you afraid of any government BESIDES the U.S. Govt. actually coming after you?

You posted this in the Religion and Spirituality section, so you must mean "Are you afraid to say certain RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL things...." I am trying to understand why you would have such a concern. The government of the USA doesn't have any jurisdiction over your speech on religious matters. I am aware that there are governments that do have this jurisdiction, and that their citizens are fearful of what they say, in case it leads to their imprisonment or even execution. My deepest wish is that a time will come when nobody need have this fear.

Beleive me when I tell you we all have a file. Every person with a social security number has a file at the FBI and CIA. Doesn't matter if you have never been in trouble, you can be clean as a whistle...they are still monitoring everyone. Beleive in freedom of speech if you want to. Better wake up and smell the Patriot Act.

i am not from U.S but i think it might be scary... saw that from movies/series... coz the movie will go so extreme not only that u said something wrong would make U.S government come after you, but it's more of what u have.... maybe you got something extraordinary that others dont... even if it's unlikely to happen

Good question! Yep, is the unqualified answer. Just watch the film "Enemy of the State" (w/Will Smith & Gene Hackman)...they've been watching us for DECADES!
Is it impossible 'cause I'm white, as others have said? I doubt it! Abbie Hoffman was white, JFK & RFK were white and look what the gov't did to THEM. (btw...it's common knowledge that Hoffman did NOT take barbiturates, the thing that killed him in his supposed "suicide"!).
Go get your aluminum foil hats...all of you!

NO! I am an American. I have the freedom to say George Bush is a moron. I have the freedom to protect my home from invasion.

It is the goal of the FBI to have a file on every American.

I would say that I feel the need to be prudent in my utterances on Yahoo.
