How many times will this tragedy repeat itself? A young person with great potential and maybe a few minor misdeeds in his past tries to go somewhere that he as an American has every right to go. But immediately the small-time powers in that land view him with mistrust, all because he chooses to wear a simple, functional sweatshirt with a hood that some people have wrongly associated with criminality, and maybe now he won't be able to achieve his lofty goals. Oh, did we mention that this young man is white? Did we just blow your mind, race-pimps?

No shit. I got a facebook page just so I could fricking register at web sites, turned on all 27 secret hidden security features, told facebook nothing but my name, posted nothing, and told nobody about it ... and I'm getting facebook-related crap on a daily basis, including invitations to connect with family members, with handy links to their facebook pages. How the fuck do they know who my family members are??? Scary shit -- it's like they put a fucking keylogger on your computer when you sign up.
