Kayakers as Terrorists

Just my $0.02: pretty much anything can be construed as terrorism.
Photographers have been harassed regularly for photographing near
certain sites, including trains (a popular hobby, it appears). In
general, for those of you who are also unfortunate enough to live here,
this is the United States, and the number one rule for survival in the
US is to assume *everything* is illegal unless proven otherwise.
The US is run by a bunch of paranoid fruitcakes bent on world domination,
and John Ashcroft & Co. see terrorists in every shadow. In fact, it
seems they're more interested in keeping dissenters silent. Everyone
who has a contrary opinion and everyone who has the nerve to engage in
an activity which is out of the ordinary is immediately assumed to be
a "terrorist".
Anyway, I could go on for days. Like I said, just assume everything is
illegal - it probably is. And after you get harassed, you'll have to
prove your innocence. Welcome to America.
