Yes, and your point is *what*, exactly?
Many forms of otherwise harmless anti-social behaviour have already
been criminalised in the US, and the remaining list of acceptable
eccentricities is rapidly shrinking.
Naturally, this has nothing to do with morality -- Federal lawmakers
are notoriously amoral -- but with control. Not only are you expected
to conform to the herd, but you're expected to ``Baa'' in the same key
as the rest of the sheep.
And the sheeple have been pretty well trained -- nearly all the media
that reported on the FBI's recent ``Privacy is an anti-social act.''
comment accepted ``anti-social'' as a pejorative without questioning.
And most citizens *already* equate ``anti-social'' with ``criminal''.
