...and for other purposes

There is a crazy bill out there in the world of politics that has been introduced. This is some big-brother shit called the Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. i highly recommend checking it out. As another blogger puts it: "

H.R 1955: the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 recently passed by the House—a companion bill is in the Senate—is barely one sentence old before its Orwellian moment:

It begins, “AN ACT - To prevent homegrown terrorism, and for other purposes.”

Those whose pulse did not quicken at “other purposes” have probably not read George Orwell’s essay, “Politics and the English Language,” or they voted for the other George both times.

you can track the bill here, if you are curious: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-1959
