Are you a terrorist?

James Robinson is. All three of them. A whole new federal government department was formed to make a list to protect United States citizens, and that list states that they are.

Thank you to Drew Griffin and Kathleen Johnston(via CNN), for this wonderfully written article.

While I did chuckle a bit, this is really sad. It’s a surreal foreshadowing of George Orwell’s 1984. The list has United States citizens on it, is made by a government agency, yet you can’t get a copy of this list for yourself. Didn’t they pass some act or something that was supposed to, like, give…you know…United States citizens, like, the power to get, like, copies of all the documents they wanted, or whatever? How could I be so stupid? Revealing the list would pose a huge threat to national security, especially if James Robinson is on the list. The government didn’t even know there were three of them! That’s scary, people!

I’m not sure whether or not my favorite part of the article is when they reveal how each of the Robinson families avoid being flagged by the list or when they reveal that one James Robinson is eight years old.

If they ever catch the real terrorist that refers to himself as James Robinson they better let everyone know what he looks like, that they have apprehended him, and make sure they take his name off of that damn “list.”
