USA Protection from Bloggers!

No, not an Arab, not a Muslim. This is Jeremy C. Wright, a Canadian blogger who was interrogated & banned from USA.

Him: Why would you visit someone in the states you’d never met (I mentioned I was planning to visit several people whilst down there)
Me: Well, I have met most of them, but I’ve talked to them dozens or hundreds of times online.
Him: Do you have any of their phone numbers?
Me: No, but I talk
Him: You can’t talk to someone without a phone number. Stop lying to me.
Me: No, really, I can talk from my computer to theirs
Him: Don’t be a smartass. If you don’t have their phone number, and you’ve never met them, how can you have ever talked to them.
Me: (at this point I’ve learned that sarcasm doesn’t help, nor does answering questions he doesn’t want to hear the answer to)
Him: So, you’re trying to tell me that you’re going to visit someone who you’ve never met, never talked to and who knows nothing about you? And I’m supposed to believe this?
Me: (This was two hours in, and minutes before I demanded to be released)

    i cannot say i’m shocked, but i did shake my head in disbelief, and chuckled inwardly. the sheer banality, the sheer stupidity, the sheer hypocrisy.
    i’m new to the world of blogging, and after reading this, i’m awaiting my ‘destiny’ with the americans of the sort.
