I didn't have much to say when the LJ person got a visit from the Secret Service or FBI or whatever because of things said in their LJ, mainly because it's not the first time it's happened, and I didn't think I, or anyone else, was surprised by now. It also didn't strike me as that weird -- unfortunate sure, and a bit silly, but it's how you don't joke about bombs in airports -- there are just some things we don't say anymore, and the reality of that is probably a different discussion for a different time. Here we are now.

Then there's this -- which is unbelieveably freaky to me:

Considering all of the funky research I end up doing for my stories and my (not so nice) characters, this is kind of disturbing. For example, recently, I ended up doing research on the Ottoman Empire following it from where it was in the 1800's to today. That in and of itself is not scary. The tangents I went off of while researching (because I'm a tangenting type of person) is. Especially when it led to modern day religions and terrorism.
